NYC - been many times, one of my favorite places in the world. You will get lots of suggestions, and of course all the standbys are worth it (statue of liberty, ground zero, central park, etc.etc.) A few that i would add:
there is a company that does food walking tours through Grenwich Village and the Meat Packing District - both are awesome (if you do one to the Grenich). Just do a google search - easy to find - book ahead.
Walk across the Brooklyn bridge - advice is to take a cab to Brooklyn and walk back (view is much better walking towards NYC)
Go to the 'top of the rock' (top of rockerfeller center) - imo the view is better than the empire state building, you are closer to the edge (i.e. a little freakier for those scared of heights) and the view of central park is amazing.
Good Luck!
