Thank you for the advice guys. My cousin lives in Queens and she is going to have me stay with her until we find a place. She knows Manhattan really well, in terms of neighborhoods, so it should be easier.

Cool, that is the best method.

By subway though, since there is the express train stop at 168th, it’s less than 15 minutes to 42nd Street. Much faster than Brooklyn, and infinitely faster than Queens.

It depends on where in the boros you are talking about, and where in Manhattan you are going. When I lived in Astoria my ride to lex was 10-15 minutes, and that was from every stop. In Woodside, the express train at 61st street can get you to Times Square in under 20 minutes.

Just an update guys:

So the salary is around 54k (42k annual+12k quarterly bonus).

My boss is saying he raised my base so I could apparently live in Manhattan (hmm…lol).

Any ideas on if a one bedroom in any part of manhattan that is relatively “safe” is going to happen?

If not how would you confront your new boss who is certainly evaluating you? I might have to beg to live in queens or something heh.
