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. :)

Been to NYC twice in past couple of years from the UK. Well worth the visit.
Hang out in Time Square (Eat at Bubba Gump Shrimp there!)
Go for a walk (Or hire a bike) around Central Park
Have dinner at River Cafe, Brooklyn (Best views of Manhattan)
Go to Ground Zero to see it for yourself (very moving)
See a Broadway show (recommend Mamma Mia)
Catch a Yankees Game (Great fun!!!!)
Check out the South Street Seaport
Usual Tourist things (Circle Line Cruise, USS Intrepid, Empire State Bld, Macys, Bloomingdales, China Town & Little Italy, Rockefeller Centre)
NYC Rocks - Have a great time buddy :-)

Ground zero, Take the subway, Central park. Near Ground Zero their is a department store called I think 20th Century and you can buy so much stuff at really cheap prices especial shoes. Also by that dept store is a church that has graves from the 1500 's and was untouched during 911. Oh and also , find Cyndi Lauper. Also go to times square to buy cheap souveniers. And dont by those terrible pictures of people fleeing 911 from those friggin jerks that surround Ground Zero.

-Go the Chinatown but eat at the small hole in the wall places for the best food. Avoid any restaurants directly on Canal street. Mott street will have the best choice of food.
-Visit chelsea, nice clubs and bars around there.
-Central Park.
-The Museum of Natural History Planetarium has great shows.
-MoMA and the Met.
-A comedy show in times square is also a fun idea.
-South street seaport.
-Visit bars and pubs on the Lower East Side.

Go to the top of the Empire State building, a river cruise, and if possible, catch a Broadway play. Oh, and NBC studio tour at Rockefeller Center.
