With the help of Lonely Planet ebook travel guides, you can download separate PDF chapters for each city district. If you're on business this could be particularly useful as you might not plan to visit all of the tourists attractions around the city, but might have a few hours to take a look around where you're staying or working.
There isn't anywhere in NYC that you won't find something intriguing to see, or do. Use the local district maps with sights of interest marked on it to orientate yourself, and explore.
