There are things going on all the time - there is a structured Shakespeare in the Park company (doing Othello right now), but you can almost always catch a pop-up street show. There's also a "mall" of vendors. And more.
They have the zoo and at 81 st street you can visit the Dakota and visit Strawberry fields. Also great views of the skyline . Also at 61 st they have Columbus circle.
