I used to live there, but haven't been back since the late 90's. I used to LOVE walking Central Park in the day, and the Upper East side at night or early morning. It's surreal. You can see the pavement cleaning guys clean the cement all around the sleeping homeless guy, without waking him. 
Tudor City (essentially Gotham City) is amazing to just stare at. Hit the Chrysler Building and head due east.
As Precarious mentioned, the Cloisters are great - but kind of a full-day thing, once you've gone that far. If you're an artist, take a sketch pad, or a camera. Just soak it in.
Enjoy the subways. I'd love to wipe my mind and try to figure them out again from scratch (without using a smart phone).
Please - eat something you've never heard of. And plan an afternoon walking around Central Park without a lunch plan, and just plop down at the cafe with the most irresistible aroma!!
I spent a lot of time at the Library (remember Ghostbusters). They had free concerts and events on the lawn back then.
Watch for your favorite no-one-has-ever-heard-of-her musician to pop up doing one night in a bar that sits 12. If you don't have a favorite obscure talent - this is your chance to get one!

Just add to that last part "Then enjoy the rest of your life in SOUTHERN California".

Everyone is talking about these CRAZY foods there... I want to get some lolI used to live there, but haven't been back since the late 90's.

I went to me first Korean restaurant in Manhattan, with a friend of mine who kindly guided me through the experience. They served my this gigantic bowl of... salad? All the ingredients - from veggies to squid - were arranged like slices of a pizza - absolutely gorgeous. They then mixed it for me at the table and it was completely amazing. I've never had a dish like that since. I'm so thankful for that experience.
Walking while eating a Felafel, or a giant New York size/style slice of pie (pizza). Bagels... OMG... the bagels!!!
The Village and SOHO and on and on. And I didn't even THINK about Warpdrive being a local... that's like finding the golden ticket!! Congratulations!
