Literally millions of answers to this question. What do you like? Restaurants - do you want Michelin stars, local specialties, authentic subregional ethnic joints, best bang for your buck, most likely to see celebrities? Nightlife - bottle service clubs, dive bars, raves, late night poetry slams (no, really)? Museums - do you want informative, artistic, pictureworthy? Music - famed venues, underground sounds, jazz bars, dinner and a band? Touristy stuff - observation decks, noteworthy buildings, famous movie / TV scenes? Vibes - kitschy, grungy, elegant? Shopping - 5th Ave flagships, Soho boutiques, LES vintage, Midtown Christmas markets? Want to experience the classic vision of NYC (core Manhattan) or want to see the outer boroughs?

All non-exhaustive, NYC's a lot of fun but we can't plan your trip to one of the most visited cities in the world. With specific asks we might be able to make some specific recommendations

 

Are you 21+?

"If you always put limits on everything you do, physical or anything else, it will spread into your work and into your life. There are no limits. There are only plateaus, and you must not stay there, you must go beyond them." - Bruce Lee
 

On one of the Saturdays you should spend the day in Central Park. It's huge and there are tons of things to do all up and down the park. Bring some other guys in your class and throw a frisbee around on the great lawn. Check out North Woods and the reservoir. Go to the zoo etc. I moved to New York this year and I've been in the park for hours every week. Favorite part of the city by far.

There are also tons of great restaurants and bars. You could easily book a different restaurant every weekend and eat some of the best food in the world. And the cheap food is good too.
