Staying in the Manhattan area on New Years Eve is terribly expensive (if even possible) as these rooms have been booked for months and years out. I'd recommend staying in Queens. Actually, they just built about 4 new hotels in Long Island City in Queens and they'll likely want to fill them up and they'll be relatively cheap compared to Manhattan. It's a quick Subway ride into the city or cab ride across the 59th street bridge to the Upper East Side. Subway to the Bronx is probably the best way to go no matter where you stay.
Since we're stuck in NYC for the next 6-7 months, the Pinstripe Bowl was the only way I was going to be able to attend, so I'm actually pumped the Cyclones are coming out here to go bowling. Yankee Stadium is an awesome venue for it as well!
