Bussing (e.g., Greyhound, Peter Pan, Megabus, and many more) is often the most convenient and economical way to travel into NYC from other cities in the Northeast USA. Train (e.g., Amtrak) is higher cost but is subject only to rail traffic, not automobile traffic. These methods can be more convenient than flying because they can terminate within Manhattan. All considered, they are often just as fast as flying from nearby cities.
