i've been doing lots of research about new york city and i realize its pretty damn expensive, but im determined to make it work. i know i can shell out $1000 a month (ill be living w/ 1 other person, so $500 each). i have my heart set on Manhattan but i realize its probaly going to be out of my reach. im a little overwhelmed at all the other areas to choose from..bronx, queens etc.. ive heard alot about inwood, wash. heights but dont know too much about them. any suggestions on a nice area, near or in manhattan would be great. *

The real key to this question is: Will you be traveling into Manhattan for work? How will you commute? If you are, I suggest staying within walking distance from one of NYC's many subway stations. It's just too expensive to bring a car onto the island of Manhattan every day. Try Long Island City (Queens), or Borough Hall (Brooklyn).

I can recommend you Astoria, Queens. Is near Manhattan (takes 10 to 15 minutes to get there), there is a lot of public transportation, there are nice neighborhoods, is quiet, and not expensive.

If I was ever going to live in NY again and it wasn't Manhattan, I would chose Long Island. There is a lot of shopping and it's not too far from the city. Or NJ.
