There will be no new Twin Towers .. only the Freedom Tower.

125th street in Harlem is also fascinating ... there is the Apollo Theatre and a tour of Harlem on a double decker bus.

Last year my wife and I drove to NYC for the first time ever.

I parked the car ($25.00 per night) and never saw it agian for 4 days.

We took the big red tour bus (http://www.nytours.us/tours/tourType...FR-YYAodEEgdLA) and would highly recommend a non native New Yoker to do the same.

The bus will has THREE tours for the one price (about $50 per person). the Downtown tour will stop at Macy, Empire State Bldg., SoHo, Greenwich Village, Wall St., Ground Zero, etc .

The Uptown bus will make the muesems and Centarl Park.

You can get off and re-board as many times as you want at NO EXTRA COST!

We loved it and plan on doing it again.

Since, you received a LOT of ideas and suggestions regarding sight-seeing and modes of transportation, I thought I would answer your second question. Check with the concierge to see if they could hold your luggage while you were out on the town and then just swing by and pick them up on the way to the airport.
