So I know this may be a bit controversial, but I happen to spend a lot of time in NYC and wanna share some tips on how to get from Boston to the Big Apple (via the MBTA! ...sorta). Unless you like to throw the big $$$ towards a train ticket, the best way to get to NYC is via buses.
The three best places to catch a bus are at South Station, Back Bay and Alewife. For this segment I am going to focus on South Station and Alewife because the first one is huge and centralized while the second one is close to Cambridge and the suburbs. You can take the Red Line to either of the stations and then simply walk to the bus terminals (of course you will need to buy your tickets, too!)
I am a fan of South Station because everything is indoors and there is a food court, so, yeah, pretty sweet deal. The best times to catch a bus on short notice are on weekdays and weeknights. Of course there may be space last minute but don't push your luck--try to get a ticket at least 3 days in advance because the prices go up closer to the departure time.
There are other cities you can go to but you'll have to do your own research--Alewife is strictly NYC but South Station can take you to Portland, Maine and other places.
