New York Itinerary

What would you guys suggest the perfect itinerary to two a day in New York?

I travel with 4 of my good friends for a last lap after we graduate college in December. We will move 27 to 30 December, but the 27 and 30 will travel for most days they are pretty useless as planning days.

What are some must see or any personal favorite things to do in New York during the holidays? Or places flights to stay?
