Look at the American Institute of Architecture Guide to New York City. That should cover, actually, all of them, except for anything built in the past few years.
AIA Guide to New York City
To be a guide, you have to take and pass the NYC sightseeing exam, which consists of 150 multiple choice questions, a handful of which are pictures. The passing score is 97; distinguished guides get a score of 120 or above. Tell your gf to get the AIA Guide to NYC and the Blue Guide New York, as the test contains questions about material in these books. I am actually working on writing a guide to the exam, as before I took it, I had compiled a list of questions I thought would be on the exam, and most of them indeed were. If your gf has any other questions, please feel free to PM me and ask away!
If it involves New York City and architecture, it's in this book.

Note: this movie shows the architect how he often likes to see himself. Not realistic, but reveals what often motivates architects.
