in terms of neighborhoods outside of manhattan you may want to consider Astoria and Long Island City in Queens and Williamsburg, Ft. Greene, Carroll Gardens, Greenpoint in Brooklyn. (I am not too familiar with the Bronx) Those are the areas most of my friends moved to since they didn't want to pay Manhattan rents. Carroll Gardens and real Williamsburg (the real estate agents have made the area more expansive as it has gotten more popular) may be a little bit more expensive then the rest though. Commuting from any of these areas isn't too bad.
Too my fellow NYC people: have i left out any other good areas?
