Times Square is definitely a great place to visit to get a feel of the city.
Sounds a bit depressing, but if you're historically inclined, the Ground Zero site is an intereresting spot also. Hopefully, the next time you return it will be redeveloped and totally unrecognizable.
Also an art lover, you should not miss the Metropolitan Museum.
For neighborhood atmosphere and people watching Washington Square Park and surrounding neighborhood is fun

Put your walking shoes on and explore. Grab a map - start on the upper west side. Walk through Central park, head down into the 50's and check out times square. next go towards Wall street and on to the water. There are so many neighborhoods to explore, people to see and incredible food to eat. Have a blast! You can get a great feel of the city in a weekend.

The first time i was in NYC I only could stay there for a weekend so the first thing I did was buy a two day ticket tour on Grayline Tours (you get them in Times Square). I did the whole tour first to see where I thought was worth staying more time and afterwards I used the grayline buses as taxis... taking me to all those places (empire state, battery park, wall street, Greenwich Village, Rockefeller Center). I thought it was the best thing to do with such a short time!

Times square and Central Park definitely.
Take a tour ride around the city, it's worth it. A days pay on that and you've seen and heard about almost all of it without any map or trying to pay garages to let you park.
If you can, go see the Statue of Liberty, it's also a grand experience

Check out the Central Park Zoo (and don't forget the penguin house, trust me!), it's really small so it won't take much time out of your day. Times Square, Rockefeller Center (to see the tree!) and check out St. Patrick's Cathedral while your there, Heralds Square's good for shopping...Macy's, American Eagle, Victoria's Secret's all in that area.

Put on your hi-heel sneakers and head for Times Square, Broadway, 5th Ave., just follow the crowd. Take a Gray Line tour. It takes you to the sites and brings you back to where you got on.

South street Seaport is really cool. Also, a walk through Chinatown if you want to practice your haggling and Little Italy which borders Chinatown.
