1. Buy a copy of TimeOut New York magazine - it will tell you all about what's happening for the week - movies, concerts, plays, museum exhibits, sales and other events.
2. You can't go to New York and not do some shopping. See the big department stores - Macy's, Lord&Taylor, Bloomingdales.

The East Village has lots of little shops/independant designer boutiques. Try Tokio 7 at 64 East 7th Street at First Avenue - it's a designer consignment shop. It can get very crowded, but you can find things here you won't see anywhere else. If you like Denim, look at Famous Friends at 616 East 9th Street (between Avenues B and C)
Walk through Soho - wonderful clothing stores.
Go to the TimeWarner building - very expensive designer stores - worth seeing. Grab something to eat at Whole Foods downstairs.
Do your souvenir shopping in Chinatown.

I go to NYC all the time.
I think you should go to Little Italy before Chinatown takes it over.
It's very nice.
Also you gotta go to Jekyll and Hyde's!
It's a dinner and show...and it's amazing!
I say go there during Halloween.
Seeing a Broadway show is a must.
I like WICKED, Hairspray, Putnam County Spelling Bee, A Chorus Line, Jersey Boys, The Producers, ect.
Visit Time Square is one of THE MOST amazing parts of Manhatten.
Carnige Deli, Toys R us (It's amazing)...
ECT< ECT.
There are so many things you can do there...
But first stop by a tourists center!
Don't forget to visit all the amazing museums.
For example:
The Metropolitan, The Holocuast, The American Indian museum
Have Fun!
I <3 NYC

Museum of Natural History-models of evolution of man and famous gems.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art has everything-not just paintings and sculptures, but also knights and armor, mummies, an Egyptian temple. It's well worth the trip.
Take a ride on the Staten Island Ferry. It's cheap and fun
Have a dim sum brunch on Sunday morning in Chinatown.
Make a reservation for the pretheater dinner at The Four Seasons, one of the most famous restaurants in the world. If you are seated by 6:15, the entire dinner from appetizer to dessert is only $65. Ask to be seated in the pool room. The trees in the pool room are decorated according to the season. Jackets and ties are required for men. No jeans or corduroy pants. You may see the occasional celebrity there. The phone number is 212-754-9494.
Get a discount ticket for the theater. You can find them on line searching for discount broadway tickets or at the half price ticket booth. You definitely want to see a Broadway play.
Go shopping at Century 21 for discount high style. It's across the street from Ground Zero.
If you want to eat very cheap, but it's way out in Brighton Beach near JFK Airport, try Cafe Glechik 3159 Coney Island Avenue (Brighton Beach Avenue), Brighton Beach, Brooklyn; (718) 616-0494.BEST DISHES Pickles; all vareniki and pelmeni; green borscht; stuffed cabbage; stew Glechik.
PRICE RANGE Appetizers, soups and dumplings, $1 to $9.50 (bags of frozen dumplings to go are $4.50 to $6.50); main courses, $7.50 to $20; side orders, $3. The restaurant is B.Y.O.B. CREDIT CARDS Cash only.
This is wonderful food and incredibly cheap.
There are also Russian night clubs in Brighton Beach that are also an experience, but it's been years since I went to one.
