Sightseeing
I know it's touristy but Grand Central is one of my favorite places in all of NY. Google the whispering corners and check out that ceiling.

Entertainment & Activities
It's an interactive play (macbeth) done in a huge warehouse. I've done a lot of very cool things in my life but this was one of my favorite unique experiences. You wear a mask and get separated from whomever you came with but you follow around characters to different rooms & get a different experience every time. A little pricey at $100 a person but soooo worth it. Go Early
