    The Intrepid Museum beside the Circle Line boat trips is worth a visit too.
    The Scrambler-EE Walk soundcloud experience

    It’s been ten years since I went but one of the best things we did was to get the metro out to Brooklyn Heights…. Grab a sandwich in the Plymouth Cafe and then walk back to Manhattan across Brooklyn Bridge.  You get the best views of NYC from there. 
    Also recommend Chelsea Guitars next to the infamous Chelsea hotel - worth a quick look in the lobby for the artworks on display.

    We had an excellent morning as follows:

    - Subway out to Rockaway.  (Farthest out point you can get with your subway pass?).  Walk the beach.  Tapas at an excellent ‘hole in the wall’ place.

    - Taxi to Coney Island.  Walk the boardwalk.  Ride the classic Cyclone woody rollercoaster.  

    - Subway to Brooklyn.  Lunch and a few beers in an excellent bar we stumbled across.

    - Walk over the Brooklyn Bridge back in to Manhattan.

    Jim.

    One of my favourite parts of NYC is the East Village, the blocks between 3rd &1st Ave. Orientate yourself around St Marks Place and there are loads of good bars and eating places around there, plus some quirky shops. It has a very cool vibe IMO.
    2nd Ave has lots of neat places on it, including the Brick Lane Curry House - all round there you are spoilt for choice for restaurants. 
    The Grey Dog on University Place, West Village is good for breakfast. Buzzing and hip place. 

    Times Sq is best avoided IMO - a real tourist trap and not worth the effort.

    Kenn's Broome St Bar, W Broadway is a nice bar, good beers.

    The walk down the Hudson River on the West side of Manhattan is nice.

    High Line is brilliant - take a camera, some very neat views, goes through some cool areas too.

    Note - central park is huge, seriously huge.

    The whole of Manhattan is walkable. In all the times I've visited I've never used the metro or buses - you can walk it. SoHo and Tribeca are interesting areas, the walk from Midtown to Battery Park is a good one/

    Have a great time, I love the place.
