The high line can be cool. I also like the UN tour but that's just me. Good barbecue in koreatown.
If you have friends (doubtful), then it's always nice to hit up a good rooftop bar with a nice view of the city. I recommend 230 Fifth. Or there is a fun place called Frying Pan that's a boat docked in the hudson.
I don't really know tourist things, but bars.

Seems like an awesome place to live/ work in for a bit.

Speaking of "cool, unknown places to eat", anyone check out "Illegal Eater" on Esquire TV? Host is the former Barenaked Ladies frontman Steven Page. They did a New Orleans episode, which was spot-on. Featured a few places (not really "restaurants", but eateries and things) that you hear about on e-mails and rumors. But, no NYC episode yet.

Any spot you saw on tv is not unknown and is probably not particularly cool either

Sigmund Freud defined four parts of a psyche; the id, the ego, the superego and the stratego. The Stratego being the highest form of morality and scientific thinking.

Definitely do the touristy things.
The best part of NYC is just walking around IMO. Find a random hole in the wall place and give it a shot. If there's a line avoid it, it's just trendy and probably sucks.
I would check out west village, soho just for kicks, LES if you want nightlife. Go to Central Park. Go to the great lawn at night and there's a beautiful view of the city framed against the great lawn. It will be quiet and peaceful too. People don't seem to go there much.
Go to the ramble and laugh at what we call nature.
Times Square is mandatory once and only once.
And walk across the Brooklyn bridge. Smorgasburg in Williamsburg is pretty cool but it will be insane since this is the first weekend it's open.
Veselka in east village is good and unique.
Momoya is good for sushi if you're trying to stay affordable.
Get a pork bun at momufuku, or go to momofuku's milk bar and get delicious desserts.
If you want to drop some money Bernadin is some of the best food I've ever eaten but it's truly ridiculous pricing. I've never gone there on my own dime.
Staten Island ferry is kinda cool.
