New York City

I want to move to New York when Im done with college. I want to do this the smart way by saving up some money to live off of till I get myself settled after moving there. I understand New York is a very high priced city. I'm willing to live in a crap shack, I pretty much do now. How much would you recommend for me to save up to be able to live off for a little bit till I were to get settled?

I'm not asking for an exact estimate. I understand that that would be impossible. It all depends on the apartment I were to get, how much food I were to eat, things like that, just a safe estimate would be greatly apreciated. Thanks for all the answers, weather they help or not!

I am traveling in New York and planning to stay at Hotel 17 because of our budget. I heard some good and bad reviews about it. The shared bathroom is what worries me but considering our budget, (we are staying for 5 nights) this is the best deal and more reasonable place we can find. Anyone has suggestion or opinions about that hotel?

I've found the Riverside Tower Hotel on Broadway ($120) and a B&B on East 86 and Third for $160, an apt in Greenwich Village for $210 which is too much. I need it for ten nights for me and my 17 y/o son. Any help would be appreciated. I've never been to NYC so I don't know if these areas are safe yet accessible. Please advise!

Like grasshoppers, roaches,etc.
In the same floor where they sell the tickets, there are stores. I suggest you ask for them and you will see.

I am moving to NYC and will be renting (80% of Manhattanites rent so I wont feel like a loser)
I am trying to figure out how much $$$$ I need to rent a nice place and have enough cash for at least 2 years.
I am starting my own website for health and beauty and will be paying the bills with a lucrative part time corporate design job that pays 140k starting 2/08 in NYC.
I want to move to NYC by January.
I have 160k saved up. I plan to use some it towards rent/daily expenses.
Do I have enough saved up to cover 2 years in NYC ?
I plan to spend around 3-3,600 a month on rent.

Every week, Friday/Saturday there is a fireworks show somewhere southeast. It might be on the river, I'm not sure as half of it is blocked by a building so I don't know exactly where it is.
Just that it happens about once a week on Friday or Saturday. So what is it for, or is it just some holiday every weekend?
