As far as drinks and a stunning view of NYC and Times Square, I would suggest the Marriott Marquis, http://www.nymarriottmarquis.com/

We have stayed and drank there on numerous occasions.The double decker bus in NYC from a tourists point of view offers a good value and insight.

Also the Hyatt in Princeton offers a comedy show with dinner just for your information.
