You won't see many flip-flops in Manhattan. I wouldn't recommend them.
And, I agree that the NY subways are more confusing than most, but still a great way to get around.
I did a TV remote production at the Grand Hyatt once, but I only remember the Irish Pub across the street. On the other hand, as I recall, the Grand Hyatt is on 42nd between Park and Lex and there are a huge number of great restaurants a very short cab ride (or even walk) pretty much anywhere in Manhattan.
Sounds like only a four block or so walk to the rehearsal hall. That's great. Manhattan is a great place to walk around.
If you have the time and money, there are a lot of other great shows on Broadway right now. I saw Wicked a few weeks ago and it is outstanding -- expected to win numerous Tony's this year. Also saw Movin' Out, Hairspray and Nine. Would recommend any of them, but Wicked and Movin' Out are really good. I'm sure Aida is also still playing -- which is one of the best musicals I've ever seen. (Actually, that might be my first choice) Dress is usually anything from jeans to fairly nice clothes. Nice pants and top or sweater will be fine.
This may sound kinda corny, but I've been to NYC MANY times on business, but a few years ago, Mrs. DA and I took the time to do the double decker red bus sight seeing tour -- and really enjoyed it. Just a thought.
And, I agree with everyone above. The weather could be anything from Springlike to blizzard. Take a coat -- or layers of clothes.
Whenever I travel (often), if I'm going to be in the same hotel for any length of time, I'd recommend unpacking immediately and letting your clothes hang so that some of the wrinkles will "hang out." Plus, better hotels generally have ironing boards and irons in each room.
Just earlier tonight we saw our kid's HS music teacher who took their choirs to Carnagie every other year, and, although he's at a different school now, he took his choir there about two weeks ago and they had a great time. Hope you do, too. (BTW, he saw Wicked and loved it, too.)
