If you have fast glass, then you can get by with 400iso at night. I regularly walk around at night set at 800iso with 1 stop underexposure shooting at f/2.8. Manhattan is relatively bright along the big avenues. If you get a nice clear day, take the PATH over to Hoboken and shoot yourself a nice Manhattan cityscape from across the Hudson. I live in Philly but hang out in NYC often enough that I just carry around a camera all the time and avoid the touristy areas like the plague around the holidays. You might think about taking a day to visit Philadelphia if you have time in your itinerary. We've got fewer people but just as much history if that's your thing. Don't forget to try to get together with the NYC LUGers. A fine bunch of people if I may say so.
