I live in Sunset Park, Brooklyn next to the D train (20-30 mins to Manhattan) and I've made $80-95k and live quite comfortably, so if I make it over six figures I'll be more than fine. It's fairly cheap in terms of rent and groceries and I'm near all the fun stuff in Manhattan and other parts of Brooklyn. It's not the prettiest part of New York, though, but I like it here.
I don't know what the salary/cost ratio is, but I find it a non-issue. That said, I am 22 and have no children. I agree with another commenter here to said it depends on your lifestyle and hobbies.
