Lot of people heading home for the holidays.

Travelocity say $355

I'm so sky high right now. I don't think I would need a plane.

Air Tran from Atlanta to NY. ~$320

Having worked in NYC for a year and a half, hotel rooms are generally pretty expensive, too. Expect to pay 200 - 300 minimum per night for a room in the city. Outside the city, it's still pretty high. E.g., Newark, NJ rates were about $185 a night. However, if you have never been or haven't been since 9/11 it would be a great chance.

Check flights into Newark as well. I know Continental flies non-stop. Occasionally good deals between Huntsville and Newark can be found. You can catch the train from the Newark Airport to New York Penn which is under Madison Square Garden as well.

Yep, Newark (EWR), La Guardia (LGA), JFK, and White Plains (HPN) are all good airports. LGA is the closest. White plains is very small--the boarding process there is actually like being on the wait list at a restaurant. I.e., they often make people wait outside of security until they are ready to board their flight since there is limited seating in the gate area.
