Are these like 9x9 boxes with rats in them and homeless people outside the door or can you get something decent for $1,500/month?
I was looking at apartments in Boston area for $1,200/month and I have a day dream of spending a year in NYC, so thought Id look into it.

Don't rent in a place where you have to take the subway - go ahead and get the small place in Manhattan. You get used to the size in a few days (thats what she said) and when you step outside you'll thank yourself every 5 minutes. Hell's Kitchen sounds bad, but it is actually a tony neighborhood now. You're a few blocks from the parks on the river, Central Park, Lincoln Center, etc. You can truly barhop because there are 100 good bars within a few blocks. I wouldn't do Inwood even though it is technically Manhattan. Try to stay below 110 if you are white and 135 if you are black.
