Eat at a good restaurant. See a Broadway show. If you only do those two things, you'll get plenty of NY.
Other traditional things to experience the Big Apple might be: * Skating at Rockefeller Center. * Going to the Empire State Building observation deck. * See Grand Central Station, or even Penn Station. * Visiting the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island (which is developing a nice museum, not to mention its database) * Have a corned beef sandwich. * Ride the Staten Island Ferry (it's free!). * Wander through Times Square (where you can get great show tickets at the last minute). Go uptown far enough to see the Ed Sullivan Theater, Letterman's home. * Take a Hansom cab (horse-drawn carriage) ride. * Take the subway somewhere (being careful to avoid going somewhere you didn't mean to). * Eat at another good restaurant and see another show! * Go when GWB is in town and experience the joys of "Presidential Gridlock." * Pay $400 a night for a room where you can touch the opposite walls at the same time...
