Thinking of a New York city road trip...questions?

I am thinking of a trip to the big apple to see Architectural sights with my youngest lovely daughter who is studying ARchitecture at BSU.

I want to see the Gugenheim, the Empire state and all mandatory architectural sights including Central park, Brooklin bridge and Grand central station.

Questions:
1. If we take the train in can I get around on foot with my somewhat limited mobility due to recent knee surgery. I can walk blocks comfortably but not miles.
2. Taking a car in is not possible? I used my car with reasonable success in DC but from what I understand NYC is much worse.
3. Is the scaffolding off the Gugenheim yet? I don't think I want to make the trip until we can see it all inside and out.

We'll be staying outside the city where the lodging is cheaper.
