The best way to move around the city is by using the NYC Subway also called MTA or Metropolitan Transport Authority but if you are not familiar with subway systems and/or you do not speak the language then I would recommend that you use yellow cabs or touristic buses to go to the main attractions if you are tourist.
There are many different touristic buses services and you will run into a bunch of them on the street. Here is an example of a popular one. Chick here>> If you are a family or a group, you will probably be able to negotiate a better rate.
If you wish to use the subway and or bus service here there are some tips you may consider:
1.- As a general rule try your best to avoid peak hours! (from 7 to 9 A.M. and from 4 to 6 P.M).
3.- Get a subway and/or bus map. You can also check the NYC Subway map online>> and the NYC Bus map online>>
4.- Get a Pay-Per-Ride MetroCard . The fare for a subway or local bus ride is $2.25. With this card you get an automatic free transfer between subway and bus, or between buses. You can buy as many rides as you want from $4.50 to $80. If you put $8 or more on your card you will receive a 15 percent bonus. For example, a $20 purchase gives you $23 on your card. 10 trips for the price of 9, with $.50 balance. You can buy and refill your card to use the balance in the machines available in every station by cash or credit card.
Have a good trip!
