Make a selection. Then go to Image -> Adjustments -> Desaturate
You can also use the Sponge tool with Desaturate selected in the tool options bar at the top.

OYBRO is right. That's a very easy way to achieve the results you are looking for.
Another way (slightly more difficult) is to make another layer of your image by copying it, then go to Image>mode>grayscale. Then go back to Image>mode>RGB (or whatever color space you're working in). Now, paste the image that you copied back into your canvas. From here, you can either erase the color parts to show black and white, or move your layers around and erase your black and white parts to show color. Erasing certain parts can be done in a variety of ways, using either the eraser tool, making a selection and deleting it, or a few other techniques. Hope this helps some.

Yet another probably even more complicated but allows you to do a lot more to the image..is using "vector masks" at the bottom of the layers pallete.
You have two layers: top Color bottom B/W. (or other way around)
On the top layer you add a Vector mask by pressing the second icon from the left at the bottom of the layer pallete. (dark square with a white circle in the middle)
Now paint with anything black (Brush/gradient)...the b/w will come thru. the cool part is you can add gradients so that the color to BW blend..or you can use any type brush set to black as I did (Looks like a "P" of sorts) and bring out the BW in shapes at will.
The best part is, if you don't like it you change the brush to "white" and paint in the color again.
Just one more way,
Lasa

I'd do what lasa said. Alternatively, you can desaturate the image and then paint with the history brush back to the "open image" snapshot that is till in colour.

For maximum flexibility I would use a Hue & Saturation adjustment layer and add a vector mask or regular mask (or both).
