not sure if there are any concessions for wheelchair users. You will have to plan subway journeys carefully. The map they provide has symbols against stations that are accessible but it's an old system like the London underground and lifts have been installed only at certain stations. Changing from line to line can often involve stairs. Quite a lot of buses are accessible including some high floor ones which have lifts which extend out. This site implies they are all accessible

The Mayor's office can also provide information

I found New Yorkers incredibly helpful (despite their popular image of being the opposite) and I'm sure you'll have a wonderful time.

this website talks about the shuttle service offered from airport to hotel. is it the same company that organises the vaious tours around mayfair. i think they are called the new york party shuttle?

The https://www.tripadvisor.com forums are great and have New Yorkers answering questions - if you have a specific question about anything, just post it!
