Personally, my favorite naked eye "thing" is seeing the galactic centre and tracing the dark lanes and trying to spot some of the nearby objects. M8, M6 and M7, M24 etc.
For a real challenge, NGC 5128 under very dark skies and good conditions can be glimpsed. Did it myself a few years back and have heard of others.
