Do the boat trip round Manhattan, takes 2-3 hours and is well worth it. A visit to Ground Zero, Empire State Building, Broadway, Central Park and Times Square are essential.
I was there this time last year, and I wish I was back now. It`s great - especially at Christmas. Go and see the famous outdoor ice rink at Rockafella Plaza, shopping in Maceys etc..
The cruise is excellent too!

Macys does a thing for international visitors. Take your passport or driving license, and got to the visitor centre in the store (I presume NY has one, San Francisco does).
You`ll get an 11% discount on anything you buy.

DVD`s are cheaper online than they are in NYC (unless you`re prepared to trek over to the lower west side).
Although around Times Square theres always the pikeys selling pirates for $10 out of a blanket......

Don`t just stop at DVD`s, go the whole hog and buy Jeans and Trainers too :D
The open-air Ice Rink is supposed to to be real fun. The weather on the whole is just as cold as here. They`ve had snow in the last couple of days but its now melted and its like spring (or so I hear).

If you`re going with a lady friend then you might want to take her to the Century 21 store - it`s right across the road from the former World Trade Centre and is rammed full of absolute bargain clothes - all designer labels at silly prices. It`s good if you`re after some Calvin Klein boxers for yourself too. Other than that go up the Empire State Building (do it at after dark), have a wander round Central Park and a skate on the ice rink there. Enjoy!
