Because I was the only adult dude amongst 3 ladies and an autistic son of one of the ladies (ya it sucked), That particular extended long weekend was all about Canal street, Macy's, Times square and shopping.

You probably owe it 20 visits but that aside, go by yourself or with another adult, buy a Metrocard, a subway map and a Zagat guide and just GO (since you're Canadian, a good transit guide was one thing that would have made my visit to Toronto a lot better--there are many different guides for New York, on and off line). Try to visit all 5 burroughs (or at least the 4 conneted by subway) but with a destination in mind. I'm a food tourist so my desination is usually a top-rated restaurant, but yours could be the beach and Coney Island, the Bronx's Little Italy (which is better than Manhattan's), trendy parts of Brooklyn--whatever strikes your fancy. Outside Manhattan the subway frequently becomes an "El" so you can see a lot of the city but regardless, just learning how to use the thing and getting around teaches you about the city.
