Minor nit: I believe 3rd Ward shut down in a sad, spectacular way :( All your advice seems spot on. One problem I had was distinguishing between neighborhoods.

All your advice seems spot on. One problem I had was distinguishing between neighborhoods. While I lived in midtown east, I was oddly in a restaurant blackhole. All my favorite restaurants and hangout places were around 33'rd, st. marks, etc. There are some bad spots in Manhattan ... one should be aware of that.
- richsin 13y agoThat's sad to hear about 3rd Ward, thank's for pointing that out. You are right about the dead spots around the city, like Midtown East and Battery Park, there are a few dead spots where it is really lively during work hours but in the evening you have to travel a stop or two to find some action and good grub. @throwmeaway2525 : streeteasy.com has alot of listings and you can always negotiate with the agent in regards to fee. I just found my cousin one in Hell's Kitchen for $1900 and it's a studio. Also take a look at Stuyvesant Town and Peter Cooper Village, they are renovating all of the apartments and you can get a 1 Bedroom in a 2 Bedroom share for around $1600. They are larger apartments and it's a great size room for the price and location.
