If you wanted, since you are far up-town, you could take the sub-way to Brooklyn (the first stop in Brooklyn), get out and walk over the Brooklyn Bridge to come into lower Manhatten. Go left a bit as you come off the bridge and you are heading towards Ground Zero. There may be a ticket section for visits. If November is a bit like March you may get lucky in that there may be small queues (same applied to Empire State).
After your visit to Ground Zero, stroll left heading towards Battery Park, next to which is the Staten Island Ferry terminal. Take the boat, and get a good view of the Statue - for free - but I wouldn't spend a precious day on Staten Island. Look around for an hour if you like, come back and take the subway uptown where you could stop at Greenwich Village, or the National History Museum (on 81st street). Up to this point, the day has cost you about £3 on transport - not at all shabby!
Check out the ticket offices at the back of the bleechers in Times Square for the best prices for available on and off Broadway shows (I wouldn't buy any before you go - not if price is important.)
Note. If you smoke, take your own with you, it's about $18 for a packet.
