In my attempt to completely jinx myself from getting this amazing job I applied for (and will find out about on friday) working for a nonprofit in NYC - I seek the advice of the o wise ones of GC.
If I am offered this job, I will have to move my Midwestern ass to the Big Apple. The company is located in Midtown Manhattan and I would honestly be making pennies (seriously, it's a nonprofit) and I would have somewhere around $1000 a month for rent and utilities.
Now I know this is basically a joke - but I'm hoping some of you can advise me as to the neighborhoods of NYC - where is good to live, where will have cheap (but decent) apts, and where to absolutley avoid.
I'm not afraid of a commute on the public transportation (but i'm hoping it will be less than an hour) - so any advice would be absolutely super
