But, if you were a tourist, what time of the year is best to go in?

Spring the temps are perfect
mid fall the color in central park is beautiful and the temps are also quite nice
Christmas is the holiday lights and windows of the stores and if you like festive and crowds - it's kinda cool

Is it best to ride the subway and take taxis everywhere?

Depends on where you are going - and time of day.

Most underutilized place in new york city is Fort Tryon Park and the Cloisters in Upper Manhattan - there's a rennaissance faire there in fall - but every other time of the year it's this beautiful park overlooking the hudson river -just slightly north of the george washington bridge - it's tranquil.. and the cloisters museum is a find with it's medievil art and lavendar herb garden... Really a beautiful place...
