Traveling to New York

In April I will be going to the USBC Open Championships in Syracuse. Afterwords, my wife and I are planning to go to NYC for 2-3 days. Plane tickets and hotels will be free from cc sign up offers on amex delta cards and chase ihg cards. We are from MN, know nothing about New York, and will never go back again. I was thinking the Staybridge Suites in time square, as I have about 40 k pts per night for 3 nights available for this leg of the trip.
Few questions...
Car rental the best option to go from Syracuse to NYC?
Staybride Suites in time square seem like a reasonable option?
Besides seeing a Broadway show, central park, and trying some pizza...what other things should we consider? Tourist stuff is fine, or a local rooftop bar would be cool. Our
twins will be 2.5 at that time, and we have never been away so it will be fun no matter what... we are pretty simple people.
We are not interested in any day long activities, or things that take extensive traveling, etc.

Thank you I will check that out, I figured that section was for travel deals specifically.
Oh wait I see they are setting up temporary lanes in the oncenter. Huh.
Anyway, SYR to NYC is going to be 5-6 hours by car via 91/87 (all NYS Thruway). I've been to NYC many times, now living in CT, but ironically never went there until I moved to CT in my early 20's.

Thank you, I read about that - unfortunately it has to be the lion king. I am not TOO worried about the budget since the hotel and air will be free, and this will be the only real expensive outing we do. Just looking for fun stuff to do that is close to within walking distance (don't want to have to spend over a hundred dollars a day on taxis/ubers).
Thanks again everyone for the help so far!
Tram ride from 59st to Roosevelt Island is nice. I'd put it down the list though.
you're welcome
