Love NYC and lived there for decades before moving to London and will return to NYC too!
Here are some ideas of what you can do. First, get a good tour map. Then I recommend you take the BIG APPLE double decker tour bus for an overview of the city. There are several different neighborhoods so I'll highlight these and what to see:
Upper East Side: Metropolitan Museum of Art, Guggenheim, Whitney Museum. Walk up and down Madison Avenue for awesome shops and boutiques 96th - 57th st. Walk Park Avenue for architecture all the way to Grand Central Terminal and see the treasures located within. Walk along 5th Avenue to see/go in and out of Central Park - go for a run, go to the Central Park Zoo, go to the Carousel, go for a gondola ride at the boat house.
UPPER WEST SIDE:
Museum of Natural History -a must! on Central Park West,
Walk along Columbus Avenue. Visit the West side of Central Park and pay respects to John Lennon's Strawberry Fields.
MIDTOWN:
Shopping - 57th St (Chanel and the gang), Fifth Avenue - must see Henri Bendel, Bergdorf Goodman, Saks and FAO Schwartz - many other fun stores.
St. Patrick's Cathedral
Museum of Modern Art
Sony Bldg
Rockefeller Center
Go west to awesome new Time Warner center and visit the new Mandarin Hotel bar/restaurant for awesome view and treats!
Oh, Bloomingdale's is on 59th St and Lexington.
Empire State Bldg.
The Intrepid Aircraft Museum is fascinating and on the West side...worth the visit even if you have no kids.
CHELSEA:
Walk around the blooming area sprouting awesome restaurants and shops. Chelsea Pier is fun.
WALL ST:
Pay respects to the 9/11 victims and heroes at the WTC site., Walk Wall St., visit the Chase Hdqtrs, Federal Reserve. Seaport area is great to see.
THE VILLAGE:
Funky shops in the West Village. Walk through the NYU Washington Square Park. The East Village has some shops from new artists and designers
SOHO:
Great galleries and shops on n off West Broadway. Walk thru to Little Italy for awesome meals and desserts...walk through Chinatown. CANAL STREET has stall after stall of Designer "copies"...bring cash and bargain and watch your purse!
These should put an awesome smile on your face. Bring your camera and takes lots of photos to remember your trip. You'll have a blast! OH...BUY this weekly magazine: TIMEOUT NEW YORK on any newstand to see what's going on each week/day. :)

I've lived here 8 years and New York is not even close to the best city in the world. New Yorkers are so desperate to make everyone believe this place is so great.

I LOVE NYC!!! first off, you have five cities forming one metropolis.. so there is an unlimited amount of things to do and to see. I think most of the negative comments are coming from people who have only ever been to Manhattan (& I'm talking from midtown down) Crowded & filthy? obviously u've never been to Pelham Bay Park in uptown Bronx, or the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens on Flatbush Ave. in Brooklyn (only 15 min. from the Manhattan Bridge and Chinatown!), Jamaica Ave. shopping in Queens, Staten Island Mall (it's like the suburbs out there!!) even up-uptown manhattan (I'm talking westside ,190th to about 207th sts, 1 train, by the Broadway bridge and Henry Hudson bridge to the Bronx,) Washington Heights park is nice.... Uptown Bronx is just as nice as Mt. Vernon and White Plains in Westchester county..
Don't forget in Brooklyn along the Belt Pkway all the really nice beaches, Coney Island, the Rockaways in Queens, and I seriously suggest dining at a restaurant in City Island, the Bronx. It feels as though you're in a small coastal new england town!! EXCELLENT seafood!!
NYC is the best. anyone who says less hasn't bothered to explore as much or has seen and experienced as much as i have here...

NEW YORK CITY is the absolute BEST city in the WORLD. Anyone that says anything different could never, ever make it here. This is where the big boys play. Everyone else whines in places like Atlanta.

One of the MOST exciting cities I have ever been to. I didn't do anything special either just walked and shopped and people watched. I love NY, more than Chicago, LA, Houston, Dallas OKC, Atlanta, MIami, Toronto, Montreal, Memphis...but not more than Honolulu or Maui. I have a weakness for the Hawaiian Islands. Family there y'know...but it is the MOST exciting city I have ever been to.

I've been twice as a tourist & loved both experiences! I wish I could see more of the City than the areas I went to, but I'm chicken about exploring & afraid I'd get lost or something awful!
lol It's such a big place!!!

I don't like it much at all. It's too crowded and FILTHY. You can get everything in Atlanta that you can get in NYC without nearly the filth or crowding.
