Why?
A week is more than enough to explore new york city. OP should visit for 3-4 days, perhaps travel up to Toronto. Budget airline to the Gulf states/Midwest. That's just my opinion. I like to move around. NYC is a great city. It just depends on what you want to do with your time.
I have to totally disagree. 3-4 days is just the beginning. It's an amazing city, one of the best I have visited and I never tire of the place. 3-4 and you don't even scratch the surface.
True. I definitely agree that NYC is an amazing city! I guess I have visited/stopped over many times, so I find it all to be a bit 'samey' after a while. How about a week and half in NYC and then a road trip to the west coast in two weeks? The USA is huge. Superb roads. Superb views. Superb hospitality (most of the time)

this place is mental - you get people posting clueless time warp crap about the old kent road and football clubs in the greatest city in the world just 50 miles away, yet everyone is a native new yawker at heart. new yorks a pile of old ****. been there countless times never seen simon and garfunkel woody allen or the kids from fame dancing on top of cars. total swizz.
Start checking websites now for any good deals. I stayed in the financial district last time which is about 15 mins away from Midtown but I had a great hotel deal right opposite the twin towers site. Try Hotel bookings.com and others. I think that the Summer months are cheaper (not 100% sure though( because of the heat and humidity whereas Oct and especially November is more pricey due to the marathon and pre Xmas Shopping. Fantastic city and DO go to the Staue of Liberty and the Natural History Museum. Other ideas are:-
1. Grand Central Station
2. Toys R Us store in Midtown (Ferris wheel in the shop!)
3. Museums
4. Guggenhiem
5. Boat trip around the Hudson
6. Empire State
7. 9/11 site
8. Chinatown for a meal/night out
9. Wall Street
10. Night time tour/midnight diner
Have fun!

It was a bad joke. League of gentleman I think.

I've lived in New York for four years and sometimes I feel like I've barely scratched the surface of this great city

Not often I agree with you HT, but I have been six times, five days shortest, ten days longest, each time concentrating on different themes, and I still want more because there is still much more to see and do. It depends what time of year you go too.
Ha ha. First time for everything
Totally agree and similar to me. I have spent a total of 1 and a half months there over the years. My thing these days is wandering around neighbourhoods and NYC is brilliant for this. I'm quite envious of Lyndhurst for being able to live there.
Thank god the discussion is on NY districts not London, otherwise somerset, would be moaning about Barnes again, traffic too slow, wrong part of the river, not as good as Putney.
I've never been to NY so can't add anything other than this link to some great historical pics: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2134408/Never-seen-photos-100-years-ago-tell-vivid-story-gritty-New-York-City.html
