Generic coffee shops are all over. I believe there's one right on 6th Ave around 55th Street. Hotel coffee shops are always more money but once you're walking around you'll find plenty of 'diners.' There's a bunch of interesting reasonable restaurants on 9th Ave from 57th Street down to the West 30s. that would be fun to explore.
Amy's Bread is excellent on 9th Ave.

Applejack! There's another, called Olympic Diner, on 8th Avenue at 49th Street. There's another one of 6th called Astro Diner (I think), but I don't know the cross street -- it's around 55th. There are lots of these type places around, but beware of the Brooklyn Diner -- it's not really a cheap breakfast place.

A nice coffee shop near you is on 6th and 53rd just after the Hilton Hotel
Also, you can go 'underground' at 52nd street where you will find a whole bunch of "Commuter" coffe shops, and even a McDonalds! Nice when the weather is bad! You can also shop under there! Do you know about the underground? Not too many tourists do!

New York is one of the greatest cities in the world. That having been said, in general, the coffee sucks in New York. Every trip I'm there, I try a different independent coffee shop (just any one I happen to walk by). And each time, I wish I'd just had a Starbucks. I'm not a fan of huge chains, but the reality is that Starbucks coffee is superior to the coffee served almost anywhere else in New York. Cosi is not a bad choice either (again, a chain). I also liked the coffee from Pret A Manger (once again, a chain).
The best of non-chain coffee I found was Oren's. The location I know is on Third Ave between 30th and 31st. I just checked their website (http://www.orensdailyroast.com) and there is a location at 33 E 58th (btw Madison/Park) that should be close to you.
