I've been just once, and did very little in the main city as I was staying with family in Brooklyn and it was also super hot. However, 2 great suggestions from my local cousin: the High Line walk, which is a park/ trail on a disused elevated railway with lots of plants and art (https://www.thehighline.org/#), and a boat tour. The boat tour is easy and cheap and gives good views of the city and of Ellis Island.

Brilliant! Thank you. They sound like exactly the kind of things I will love!
