coney island if there for the summer <-- this is the great equalizer of new yorkers. there are neighborhoods that consist of specific economic classes and cultures but EVERYONE goes to coney island on a hot saturday. it's beautiful. if you swim in the water you might grow extra limbs tho
thursdays in chelsea walk into a gallery that's showing shit art and get shitty free wine. it doesn't matter if you're underage they won't card
there are some nice bars in bk
belmont's little italy
bronx zoo or botanical gardens
flushing's chinatown
fuck you
Check out some of the neighborhoods between the financial district and midtown. People always spend way to much fucking time dicking around in midtown. Greenwich Village and shit like that are honestly must-sees for me. Especially considering within the next few years all the nice colonial-revival and historic architecture that gives the neighborhood its cool "bohemian" (if that's what you want to call it) vibe will probably be demolished and replaced by high-rise glass box luxury condos marketed to chinks and Russian oligarchs.
Everyone has it covered here but go to prospect park and the brooklyn art museum. The brooklyn museum has a shit ton of egyptian artifacts that are cool AF.
Also
>high line (go during the week if you can)
>manhatten-bronx high bridge (the area around there is safe enough and it's a nice walk)
>arthur avenue (the little italy in manhatten is basically china town now)
And go to the cloysters and wave hill. 2 underrated spots with nice views of the hudson.
Is it dangerous to walk around NYC at night? I'm going there for a weekend to see a concert and my family is acting like I'm going to get shanked because I'll be alone. The hotel I have reservations for is right in the middle of Manhattan so I'm assuming it'll still be pretty lit up around 10-11pm at nighttime.

Walking around nighttime is safe where you are. Just avoid parks at night and places in Brooklyn and Bronx. Be aware of your surroundings and keep your phone hidden.
