I'll add that the Strand, Domseys, and Rosevelt Island Tram are a must, but would avoid Rao's and CBGBs like the plague- too many squares and wannabees at both.
Chinatown:
1)Pearl River Mart
All the quality Chinese Goods you could need. Good selection of porcelain, chinese clothing, teas, small furniture, and other souvenirs. Best prices.
277 Canal Street, (212) 431-4770
2)Chinatown Bakeries
60c pastries, anyone? Mango Balls are a must!
Lung Moon Bakery
83 Mulberry St
But there are many others, Like Tai Pan and Maria's
3)Staten Island Ferry
Free trip to staten Island on a ferry. Beautiful view of the city.
Whitehall Terminal at Whitehall St. and South St., in Lower Manhattan.
4)Chinatown Bus Lines
Just search for New York Chinatown Bus and pick your destination. Some go to Boston for $20 roundtrip!

Fung Wah is the most famous.

Other Stuff:
5)The Metropolitan Museum
It's suggested donation, so if you're strapped for cash, just give $1 and be ashamed of yourself
6)The museum of Natural History
Same thing, suggested donation....
Did you see the Whale?
7)Dumpling House
118 Eldridge St,
The entire staff of Tokyon can be see here with alarming regularity.
Great $1 dumplings and 50 cent sesame pancakes.
The Chinatown Buffet
It's even been reviewed right here!
