Coney Island is a must, especially during the summer. It's going to be changing soon, so this is definitely the time to take a good hard look at its scummy charm.
Times Square is pretty retarded. Sure, see it to see it, but once you get over the fact that there are a lot of shiny lights, there's not much to it. Don't stay there long.
Go to the Met. Go to the Museum of Natural History. MOMA and Guggenheim and the Whitney can be OK, too. Don't know about the Bowery Museum (a new contemporary art museum).
If I were you, I'd visit the Cloisters, which is way uptown, as well as the various Villages - West Village, East Village, Greenwich Village, and so on. Fun stuff. Make a trek to St. Mark's Place for the finest in comic book shopping, used clothes buying, and DVD buying. Go to The Strand if it's books you like.
Also, Brooklyn Heights is nice. Walk across the Brooklyn Bridge. Also, be sure to check some of the restaurants in Cobble Hill slash Carroll Gardens slash Boerum Hill. Young chefs frequently open new restaurants in those areas, so you can often get a five-star meal for fairly cheap.
Also, hang around Washington Square Park to gawp at all the hot-ass NYU students.
