When my mom and I go to NY, we always try to get standyby tix to Letterman or Conan. Call the studios or check their websites for info about how to do it. The way we did it was wait in a line for awhile to get standby tickets. Then, you come back at the end of the day, and if people with regular tickets don't show, the standby people get in. The earlier you get there, the sooner you'll be in the line and therefore have a better chance of getting in.
Somehow, I don't know how Toys R Us could EVER compare to FAO Schwarz. The singing clock tower is just fabulous. Its just so incredibly magical. Better than Disney in my opinion.
I would seriously reccomend seeing Into the Woods. Its my all-time favorite musical, and Sondheim is an absolute genius. I have a tape of the original production and every time I watch it, I get a new perspective on it. Its a totally amazing show. Another good one is Ragtime. Beautiful sets, beautiful music - really moving.
You can hit Chinatown for all the wonderful fake goods that your friends will love. Make sure to get a $5 rolex and and a "fake spade." My dad had a "rolex" from there that ran for many years - no one was the wiser!
Have a great trip! I *heart* NY!
