It is very fun in NYC, and there are a million things to do. Among them:
The Intrepid museum is cool- it has a museum, the big boat Intrepid and the last Concorde. Sony Wonders Tech Lab is cool. http://www.sonywonders.com/ You might also enjoy just walking around and sight-seeing- the Public Library, Times Square, Bryant Park... Duck tours are cool to. A car that gives you a tour of the city, then drives into the water and floats around the Hudson and East rivers.
An above user mentioned Mars 2112. It is a big restaurant centered around aliens. To enter you go through a really cool motion simulator of a spaceship, them the food is on Martian plates. There is a dancing alien in front, and lots of cool lights are around the room, for instance one that, when you turn your head, you see an apple for half a second. There is a gift shop and really cool food. After you have eaten, they "beam" you back to NYC. http://www.mars2112.com/ That is lunch for you!
Then, there's always the good old Circle Line ferries to Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty, a must-do. Get to the Circle Line offices via Battery Park.
The Empire State Building looks ominous when you walk up to it, but seeing the Big Apple from the top is a must-do. While you're at it, go to the 9/11 memorial.
The tours are fascinating, of the Empire State Building and the United Nations building.
There's always museums. The Smithsonian Institute is in NY, but there's always the good ol' Museum of Natural History, with huge whales and dinosaur bones...
If you plan on going there, enjoy your trip!

I had one of the greatest experiences of my life there, I have been 3 times and I always find something new to do every time. It teaches you what the foundations of America were built upon with all the cultures mixed together. You can also get great photos. It is amazing. I am sure even the people that live there haven't seen everything. If you plan on going call 1-800-NYC-Guide/1-800-692-4843...They give you a free guide with price of hotels and raitings and coupons attractions to see and such. They also give bus routes so you can pick which hotel to stay in. They tell you just about everything you need to know, it is like a survival guide. You wont regret that!

Greenwich Village (i.e. Village People) is an artsy part of town near a college with lots of pubs. Visit Ground Zero at the former World Trade Center in lower Manhattan in the financial district. Times Square is kinda seedy with lots of shops. The Empire State Building is closer to Central Park. There are just lots of big buildings and sites all along the way. There's a Chinatown. All sorts of stuff.

Yes, it is really fun. You can do anything you could imagine. You can explore other cultures through food and cultural events... (pretty much every country from around the world). There are also all kinds of museums (art, moving image, architecture, fashion, cultural, natural history, photography, modern art, sex, police, and any kind of museum you could imagine). There is Broadway for plays, and off-Broadway plays as well. There are concerts, live jazz, clubs with trivia nights, dancing of all kinds...
There are parks with many events and free concerts or fairs. There are street fairs every weekend in the summer. Many parades. Shopping... just about every store you can think of has a store in New York... and then there are tons of stores that are only here and nowhere else where you can buy one-of-a-kind things. We are the ocean, so there are also boating and fishing activities to do if you are into that, and the beach and boardwalk of course.
