Joe, you may have already completed your trip (sorry, I've been away), but...

NYC subways run virtually 24/7, although obviously the time between trains is longer in the off hours. Thousands of people will be taking the subway home from a Yankees game, even at night. Just use common sense and you'll be fine.

I find New Yorkers to be almost uniformly helpful and friendly. They've directed me to the right platforms at stations, the right bus, what stop to get off at, etc. One time I was in a rush, bought a banana from a street vendor, and started to rush off again. He yelled after me, "Ay, Mistah! Ya fawgaht ya change!"

I also love Central Park. It is getting clogged with pedicabs, rental bikes, carriages, and whatnot, but the best running routes are clearly marked, and if you go with the flow of runners, all will be well.

If you've not walked the High Line, it's def worth doing. And it's free. https://www.thehighline.org/visit/

The run along the Hudson is also terrific.
