Must do things in NYC?

Besides broadway shows.
Saw Beetlejuice (up there with Book of Mormon) & The play that goes wrong.
Looking for good museums.
I got food down. Like LA you can eat top dollar or cheaper than anywhere else.
Thinking about Intrepid museum or National History.
Maybe the catacombs tour at St Patrick's.
This board is great at turning up must see/do things.
Also I think NY Pizza Suprema has the best slice, unless ya'll know others.

I always enjoy just a slow walk through central park. Except for that one time I saw a rat that was ~ 15lbs. That freaked me out.

9/11 museum is a must. Natural history is solid too.
You could also spend hours just walking around Central Park.

Empire State building at night.
Ground Zero museum.
Central Park.
NYC Public Library & Grand Central.
Go see Wall Street during the trading day.
Wife was big on going to see GMA or Fox and Friends early in the morning.
ETA: If you are big on history/military history then take the train from Grand Central north to Garrison and ride the ferry over to West Point for a day and tour. It is incredible.

Hit Natural History Museum in the morning, then walk straight across Central Park and do the Met in the afternoon. That's what I did.

I walked the island from Battery Park up 5th and 6th Ave to the south end of Central Park, over to Broadway and back down to 32nd and 6th, on one of my first visits there. I ran across a bunch of touristy landmarks and still have a ton of pictures from that one hike.
Also have a nighttime stitch shot of Manhattan, roughly from midtown to the southern tip of the island, that I took from a Jersey City pier. I used that as my laptop wallpaper for years.
Also have been to the slip that was supposed to be for Titanic. The one next to it is where the Lusitania departed on its last trip.
Coney Island was nasty.
One thing I missed that I want to get to sometime is Grant’s tomb.

There’s a nice Macy’s downtown. Also china town for fake designer goods for your Christmas gifts.
Throw pennies off the top of the Empire State Building. Take the BQE and go exploring.

Go up to the Rainbow room at the top of the rock.
Theres usually no line and your admission price is buying a drink.

If it’s nice out: walk the highline; go to governors island; walk the Brooklyn Bridge, check out Brooklyn, then catch a ferry back; free Shakespeare in Central Park.
If you go the Natural History, wall a couple blocks to either Zabars or Barney Greengrass for old school Jewish delis.
If you do the 9/11 memorial, go to Eataly or Le District to eat.
Grab some snacks from the Grand Central market and some banana pudding from Magnolia, then picnic on the lawn in Bryant Park.
Wander around Greenwhich village and just dive in and out of little bars, shops, and restaurants.
Grab a sandwich at Parisi’s if you do the catacombs.

Dani's out in Kew Gardens (Queens). LINK By some miracle of God they have Abita from time-to-time.
If you've never done the bus tours, you should. We've done all the Gray Line tours and have enjoyed them all. LINK
The Museum of Natural History is a really good spot (it's huuuge and there's a Shake Shack behind it on the corner of W 77th and Columbus). LINK
The Staten Island Ferry takes you right in front of the Statue of Liberty and it's a free ride (just follow the crowd to the return ferry when it docks at Staten Island). LINK
If you go to the Empire State Building and there's a decent crowd, spring for the VIP pass. It's worth it just to hear people getting pissy as you pass entire rooms of people standing in winding lines.
If you're at the Empire State Building around lunchtime, Legends is behind it, across the street (West 33rd). This is the bar the LSU Alumni Association uses for all the LSU football games (no idea on other sports but it wouldn't surprise me). If there's an LSU game on they'll have an inflatable Mike outside the front door. LINK
If you're in Times Square and need something to satisfy your sweet tooth, check out the cheesecake at Juniors. LINK
If you're feeling a bit more adventurous you can check out something like Fort Tryon Park (and The Cloisters) LINK Beautiful views of the Hudson there. The Park tries to have some sort of event as often as possible. LINK
The Brooklyn Bridge is a fun walk (but can be crowded as the frick). If you take the subway to Brooklyn then walk into "the city" (Manhattan), there's a multi-story Chick-fil-A just a couple of blocks away with a rooftop seating area (if the weather's nice, you just can't beat have some of their food and drink in that outdoor area). LINK
The 9/11 Memorial is just a couple of blocks away from that. LINK

We went last fall. Look into buying the “city pass”. You can look it up and it’s a lot
Cheaper to buy that then paying for everything separate. Ellis island, Statue of Liberty, Empire State Building tour, 9/11 memorial

The natural history museum is the obvious first answer.
But the sex museum is pretty neat. You'll giggle a lot but you'll learn some interesting shite too.
