Foods of NY is the company I use when in NYC. Always good.

For hotels, I suggest you explore on booking dot com. Prices vary so much depending on time of year. I go to the actual hotel to reserve.
If you are looking for a general tour, Road Scholar runs some good programs in NYC. Perhaps this would suit you.

Another vote for Foods of NY. We liked one of their food tours so much that we signed up for a second one the following day - both were excellent!

What time of year? What part of town? What are your interests?
For a general NYC tour, there are several HOHO (hop-on/hop-off) bus tours that give a nice overview of the city basics, but you want some decent weather.
If you are doing the "classic" NYC sites (Times Sq, Empire State, Central Park, etc) mid-town is a good spot for a hotel. Check your favorite national chains (I like the Cambria). Look for locations close to the subway hubs - Grand Central, Penn Station, etc.
