Since the following day is Alumni Day at NYU, I'd like to stay overnight in the city in order to attend -- problem is, I have NO idea what accommodations are available south of Midtown since I've been out of the area for 14 years now. Obviously we're looking for someplace that's comfortable with/for kids and at least somewhat affordable (wishful thinking, probably). I'm willing to pay up to $200-$250/night for a room but if that's impossible I'll just come in for the Friday conference and leave that night. Does anyone have any suggestions?

See if you can find at your local bookseller "Where to see it, eat and buy it in New York". Sent a copy to my Big Sister prior to her trip, with her family of three, to NYC and she found all sorts of places in it.
And she stayed in a place up near Columbus Circle. One does not, given NYC transit, need to stay downtown.
Subway will get you there PDQ.
And Downtown and Midtown can get rather $$$
