NYC is an ideal place to attack: center of commerce, lots of people in close proximity, tunnels that if closed can severely impact flow into and out of Manhattan, lots of news media to record and transmit the carnage - and it's been done before.

I'd go for the subways during morning commute hours, a la the Madrid and London attacks: I'm a little surprised someone hasn't tried it already (or maybe they did and we just haven't heard).
