Depends what time of year...
however some of my faves are:
Ice skating in Central Park (go at 10 am when it opens to avoid corwds later)
Central Park in the summer - go watch the roller disco people, hang out on the Great Lawn, etc...
Central Park in the fall- the leaves are gorgeous.
Central Park Zoo! Gus, the polar bear swims and is fun to watch. there is also a kiddy zoo to feed the goats.
okay enough central park..
it used to be fun to go to the Plaza for tea in the afternnon but it is all condos now - tea at the Waldorf or the St Regis is fun.
The Flea Market in Hells kitchen on weekends is sometimes fun. (not as good as the Chelsea one used to be)
the Chelsea art galleries
SoHo for shopping, also Ladies Mile of Fifth Ave.
Bergdorf Goodman windows at any time of year but especially Christmas
The West Village & Meatpacking district have the best places to eat and the nicest "quaint" cobble stones streets and little shops.
Empite State building is worth the trip to the top if you have never been.
Tompkins Square Park and surrounding neighborhood - very east village.
Katz' deli for the best pastrami sandwiches and Meg Ryan's famous scene from Harry met Sally
Statue of Liberty is bound to bring some patriotic feelings that you never knew you had!
MoMA and the Met. both fantastic museums so is the Whitney and the Guggenheim.
Grand Central Station is wonderful to see.
If you can get tickets to see Saturday Night Live it is fun.
Grammercy Park neighborhood is nice (but you can't get into the park it is for residents only.)
Union Square for some good protest speeches and a great farmers market.
Ground Zero for a somber moment.
tons more to see- best advice - discover your own New York and secret places - bring great walking shoes and be observant!
People watching is fantastic anywhere in New York. you may even see a celebrity or two.

Take the Circle Line tour around the city. It is a boat ride around the island and gives you great info about all the major sites. You catch it on the 42nd Pier. The MET is always worth a visit. As is Central Park, 5th Ave., Statue of Liberity and Ellis Island, and The MOMA. If you have a good guide book, you may want to take a walk down Wall St. (the guide book to explain what your are looking at) and of course go to the top of the Empire State Building, but after dark for the best views! Have fun!

I have been twice, the last time was just recent. I LOVE NYC!
While my visit, we went to Ground Zero. I was amazed how quiet and somber everyone was. You just don't know how massive the area is until you visit. Canal St in Chinatown for the fake purses. Magnolia Bakery, which is OK, don't believe the hype! Took a stroll up Broadway.
Have fun I love it there.
