I am giving you advice as a native New Yorker...
There is absolutely nothing to see at Ground Zero - it's just a big hole in the ground. Unless you want to buy cheap, fake handbags, forget China Town. It's really crowded and stinky and there isn't much to do.
In December, I would recommend skating at Wollman Rink in Central Park - it can get very busy, so you must arrive early but the scenery is beautiful. As an alternative, you can go ice skating at Chelsea Piers.
The American Museum of Natural History is wonderful - it usually has a live butterfly vivarium during the wintertime (they actual fly and land on you)! It has a wonderful cafeteria in the basement so you could spend hours inside in the warm and have a great time.
Grand Central Terminal is also beautiful. The christmas markets inside the terminal are open in December. There are also christmas markets in Union Square and Bryant Park. Sometimes, Bryant Park has free ice skating in the winter.
Of course, I would also remember catching a Broadway show. You can order online using ticketmaster or telecharge. There is also a discount ticket place in Times Square called TKTS.

Ice Skating in Rockefellar Plaza, lunch at Serendipity (where the movie was based on) for a Frozen Hot Chocolate (yummy), a carriage ride around Central Park, dinner in Little Italy is a must (very romantic!), a Broadway show (Jersey Boys and Wicked is really popular right now), a hot night of clubbing at TAO!!!

I've been to NY a few times, definatly visit Rockefeller center (the x-mas lights are great!) and maybe you could ice skate there! Visit Little Italy for some awesome food, Ground Zero, and my favorite thing I've done in NYC was seeing Chicago! I never thought I'd like a broadway show, but it was just amazing. Also, go to Lindy's for the BEST cheesecake! Hope this helps! Have fun!

rockefeller center, radio city music hall for the christmas show, empire state building, Chrysler Building, Central park, maybe a concert at Madison Sq. Garden, Littly Italy, East Village along st. marks place is great too.. if you wanna see a show hit up the TKTS booth in times square for discount broadway tickets
what not to see.... ground zero is over rated, they didnt even start rebuilding yet. China town smells bad and is filled with irritating peddlers, and avoid times square, it is over crowded and every thing there is over priced. Avoid that area unless you are seeing a show.

go to the Marriott Marquis in Time Square and eat or have drinks at their rotating restaurant called "the view". It's a little pricey, but you can see all of downtown Manhatten, it's awesome at night! Also, take cabs, do not drive and do not take private cars, yellow taxi's are the cheapest unless you hit the subway or the bus.
