Seek out The Dead Poet on Amsterdam and 81st. Ask for a "Walt Whitman" if you dare (it's a cocktail served in a pint glass).
Circle Line tour is good - get to see the island from angles you wouldn't normally do.
Get on the subway and head out to Coney Island. Coney Island itself is a bit sh!t (The Cyclone was shut when I went), but the subway ride is great - heading out over the place where that car chase in The French Connection happened.
Find the Metropolitan Museum near Central Park - one of the best museum's I've ever been in, especially the musical instruments collection.
Find out if there are any shows on in Central Park - when I was there Asian Dub Foundation were playing which was well worth a look.
Empire State of course. Isn't as good as the Twin Towers were, but you have to take second best nowadays. Go up twice, once in the day and once at night.
If you're going shopping, go at night. Most shops are open until beyond midnight and you beat the tourist crowds that way.
