While you're here, I think it's important to do things that are uniquely New York. Eating at a New York style deli is great. I recommend Katz's. Huge meat sandwiches and other good stuff. It's been there since 1888, and it's close to Bowery Ballroom, Mercury Lounge, Cakeshop and other places you may want to visit.
New York style pizza is also very unique, although there's much debate over where to get the best. Joe's, near Bleecker Street is good.
Taking a trip on the Staten Island ferry past the Statue of Liberty is a nice experience and doesn't cost much.
