Any advice for someone going to NY?

I’ll be in NY for a almost 2 days, and I want to see some of the city. The hotel I’m staying at is the Hilton Garden Inn at the JFK Airport, which is a good distance away from attractions and sites. Some people say to just use the Airtran to get down there, b/c it’s cheaper. I would like to take one of those tours if possible. How do I go about booking one? Any suggestions? Also, do you think it’s just better to take the Airtran or a shuttle downtown?
