NYC locals- things to do that aren't "touristy"?

I'm traveling to New York City next week and am there for a week with a friend. She lives in Jersey so has been there a few times, while I have been there about 4 as I live across the country. (I've done all the usual things out-of-staters can do there)



We're both in college as musical theatre majors so we will be seeing shows and are both also on a semi-small budget.



Any unique shops, restaurants... Just fun things that won't have a zillion people around them snapping pictures.
