Does anyone know a good way to figure out where the sun is going to be around NYC on a specific day, throughout the day? I need to draw a diagram. I found a handy sun schedule on the U.S. Naval Observatory Astronomical Applications Department website, but I need more specific info than that. Ideas?

Use a freeware astronomical charting program like Stellarium. You can set locations and times to see where various astronomical objects, including the Sun, will be/were at specific times and dates.
