Just to really make everyone jealous, I live in a TriBeCa studio for $500/month. 
I win.

It might have more trendy food spots but who the hell is going to go out to Brooklyn to see and be seen? And really the Italian food is questionable.
OK and your building must have some problems because that's way too cheap.
Queens also has an art scene (the MoMa even has a temp spot in LIC). The reason why Brooklyn has more is only because it rapidly got gentrified. In the last 10 years the most awful neighborhoods became expensive as people left and newer wealthier whites moved in. In Queens that doesn't seem to have happened and I personally think it's because the last 20-30 years have strengthened those immigrant communities pretty well there.
