I neglected to mention, FNB only serves food in Tompkins Square Park on Sunday. In your situation, forget about a job that involves R machine learning, unless you already have an in. Get a job as a messenger, or supermarket stocker, or McDonalds burger flipper or something. Look for signs in stores that say help wanted, or find Manhattan messengering services you can work at. Don't look for an apartment. Look for a room to rent. There are different recycling days in New York, and some supermarkets have 24/7 recycling machines. You can take cans from people's blue recycle bins, put it in a container (the street collectors use a basket with wheels around here) and 20 of them means a dollar. Also - on Staten Island is a place called Ganas. Some people work in their stores and live there. They own residential buildings, stores etc. Some people live there and work elsewhere. I don't know if they have space available, if you tell them you'd like to live there and work in their stores, and perhaps one of you eventually would get an outside job (or maybe both), it might work out. The inner circle of Ganas is slightly cultish, but lots of people come to New York, live there a few months, then go somewhere else, and had a good time of it. They don't push you too heavily to join their meditation circle or whatever it is. There used to be a Ganas splinter group with a building near Ganas with a building, I don't think they owned businesses though. The living is cheap, communal etc., but it's a roof and a job, and some of them have outside jobs. The city places homeless people, but if you're a walkin you'll probably be sent to a homeless shelter with a lot of mentally ill and criminal people. People get their stuff stolen, sometimes worse. There is a curfew too, although if you have a legit job it might be extended.
