Walk -- it's free ;) Long distance bus rides take a ridiculously long amount of time for some reason. My friend took a bus from Manhattan to Toronto and that was about a 20 hour trip. Train may be your best bet. Or maybe you can find a cheap flight from Buffalo to NYC if you don't want to spend too much time traveling? That'll probably be like $100 more though.

Check jetblue, they fly from Buffalo to New York for $100 midweek. There's one that leaves tommorow night from Buffalo at 7:10 pm and lands in New York at JFK at 8:25.

If you ride Amtrak, you stand a 50% chance of flying, so you might as well fly to begin with. ;)

If you drive you'll probably spend what? At LEAST 6 hours driving? NYC is over 3 hours from Albany, and Buffalo is definitly more then 4 hours from Albany... Maybe 8? That's just a guess though.
