BG and I are flying in and out of Newark, NJ.
The last time we did this we took the Liberty Airport Express bus which is only $15 one way and $25 round trip. It's a nice, big, tour-type bus and the driver will put your luggage under the bus for you. It stops at the Port Authority bus station in mid-town and from there, I'd advise catching a taxi to the Park Central hotel (56th & 7th) as it would be a long walk with luggage. You can buy your tickets online so you don't have to mess with finding kiosks, etc. at the airport.
I've also taken the train from Newark airport to Penn Station in Manhattan. There's a ticket machine in the airport. You catch the Airtrain from the airport to the Amtrak train at Newark's Penn Station which takes you to Manhattan's Penn Station. It's aslo about $15 each way. Again, taxi it to the hotel as it's much too far to walk.
See you all there!
