eat well, go to dive bars to hang out, see a broadway show, shop in soho, take a carriage ride in central park
If you have more time go eat some asian food in flushing (Queens), walk across brooklyn bridge.
One thing, manhattan is generally safe but you really should ask a local about queens and brooklyn. Some trendy areas are surrounded by very unsafe areas. My wife is brooklyn born and raised and we lived in the area for a few years but are too socal now to really know the "on the ground" details.
Also, I personally take a cab or car service after 8pm if I am going to take the train into brooklyn or queens or north of 80th street in manhattan.
have fun.
