Well, if you've got a reasonable view to the North, M31 (Andromeda galaxy) is visible to the naked eye (if you've got dark skies), and is sitting around 20 degrees above the horizon in the evening at the moment. It can be easily picked up in 10x50 binoculars, and will give a nice eye-piece filling view with a wide-angle eyepiece.

Once you've taken that in, you can work your way through the numerous galaxies in the Messier and Caldwell catalogs ...
