The best time to go is right before sunset. It's amazing to see all of the lights of the city. Lines can be long, so factor that into your timing.

Extra Tips:
*This is a great walking city. Wear your flats and grab a map. My favorite maps are the Pop Up Maps available for many big cities. I usually find mine at Barnes & Noble. The NYC Pop Up Map includes their subway map and is very easy to navigate. And the best thing is they fold back up the way they are supposed to! If you insist on wearing your cute heals or uncomfortable shoes, please take a taxi!
*Meet your favorite Broadway stars! Last time I was in NYC, I noticed that after the Broadway shows, people were waiting at the back door and the stars of the show stopped by on their way out to sign autographs and take pictures.
*Do Research before your trip. If I'm unfamiliar with a destination, I usually go to the local Barnes & Noble, grab a bunch of books and find a seat. I bring a notebook and jot down some key points of interest. The internet is always helpful too!
Have fun in the Big Apple!
