NYC has the highest cost-of-living of any city in the US
Look at prices on Craigslist.com for apartments and other things.

where in manhattan? manhattan is not a neighborhood. it is made up of many different neighborhoods. ie upper west side, midtown east, soho, etc...
it is expensive yes, but not impossible. a studio in any of the neighborhoods that i have stated above would run at least $2700.00 a month NOT including utilities.

Yes, it's one of the most expensive cities in the country to live in.

It's mostly just the housing costs. Everything else is a little elevated, but not much.
The housing itself will kill you though.
ps: if you purchase, property taxes are also high - 10x higher than where I live. My wife's brother pays about $10,000 annually just for property tax.

Expect to pay about $1500/mo for a small studio. It's crazy.
