(besides the Bronx zoo, empire state bldg., ground 0 and the museum of natural history)

Nothing really. You can go to Rivnitz Rebba Kever. You can visit KY and New Square. Woodbury Commons.

What in the OP made you think that she was chassidish and that those attractions would interest her?

Nothing? In Manhattan? Are you serious?

OP, not sure what sorts of things you like or who will be traveling with you (kids? what ages?). Give us some more info.

You can also check out on-line resources like tripadvisor:

If you have children with you then FAO Schwartz, the massive NY library and maybe the American Girl store for girls (if they're ok with just looking). Statue of liberty and ferry ride.
A great steakhouse for dinner one night as a treat.

Take them to Pomegranate in flatbsuh - they have probably never seen anything like it!

If you’re going to do a zoo, you should rather do the Philadelphia zoo. It’s a lot less walking than the Bronx zoo with all the same animals and some cool attractions.

Just a warning. I just checked out rockefellers with my son. It’s quite expensive...
