Thanks for the help everyone. Not having much luck with CL, still can't find a place and I am leaving for NYC Thursday. Might be a bit of a problem if I don't find something asap, maybe I will just wing it. Problem is everyone wants to meet me before giving me the room but I can't since I am in FL for the moment, I might have something lined up on Amsterdam and 87th which is UWS.

I need a drink.

 

The upper west side sucks. Hopefully you find something else before you get here.

 

my vote goes to forest hills queens... weve got a top floor corner one bedroom that will become available in sunny side...
may not fall within your move in time frame though...
if you explain your situation.. perhaps the company can provide you with temporary living quarters until you settle in yourself...

 

Dammit, everyone tells me something different I was just talking to someone who said the UWS was great. Ahhhh this sucks, its a month to month lease so I can just get in and suck it up until I find something else.

Amp, thanks for the offer but I am trying to stay in Manhattan, not worried about the cost savings by living outside Manhattan. I tried HR, but they don't have anything thats temporary other then suggesting me executive suites which were 5000/mo, awesome.

 

I see nothing wrong with living around the UWS. 87th is still a good neighborhood and transportation access is still great (B, D, A, C, 1, 2, 3).

 

Good news, BTW deadmau5 FTW!

 

+1 agree. UWS is not bad. Like "SayNoToPiston" said, good neighborhood and good transportation. You have Central Park a few blocks away, great movie theater not too far, (65th and Broadway), and probably the best Italian restaurant i've ever had Coppolla's West (79th and Amsterdam). Good luck.

 

deadmau5, armin, schulz, atb, anjunabeats etc. UWS is not bad, just dont go further north pass 100's lol

Welcome to the jungle, took me 6 months to find a nice apt.

 

Agreed . 110th is about where I would limit myself to if I am living in Manhattan. Unless you are living on Columbia University campus grounds , which you are not.

 

Woot, locked down a place on 86th and amsterdam for 6 months, if it sucks I can always move after the lease is up. Anyways, I don't know anyone in NYC and actually have only been once so if anyone wants to grab food or some booz text/call me at 239 289 8099

B

 

i would say move to a nice area like bayside or nassau if you want to have peace and quiet at night somewhere where there is parking

 

When do you arrive to NY? Do you start working immediately?

 

I am flying up Friday but my weekend is pretty much tied up with moving other than maybe Monday. I start Tuesday which I believe is the 7th.

 

You wont regret living on 86th and Amsterdam. It may not be the best and most convenient place right now, but it is still a great location.

One of my schools campuses is right next to Columbus Circle on 59th and Broadway. It might be a location you might flock to every now and then.

 

yeah u should always stop by mid town, just keep your eyes on the road and not crash while looking at women all over the place, lol

 

your neck will be cracking at all intersections and roads hehe

 

haha yeah I work in midtown, so I get it everyday. Sooo the landlord gave me my deposit back and won't rent me the room since he found someone who will pay more, awesome. Back on the hunt for an apartment, might have something with Tom/Theorie.

 

My friend's parents is turning the bottom level of their beautiful house in Howard Beach Queens into an apartment. They said they want 1200 (if I recall correctly) for it since it includes a new 72 inch LCD TV, new QUALITY furniture, very nice bathroom, etc etc. My friend's sister recently left for college in Maryland and he is getting a place of his own soon. They plan on renting it out and selling the place soon after.

They are still in the process of transforming the place and probably wont be ready for rent for at least a month. I honestly think it is unfortunate for the house to be transformed like that.

If you are interested, I can help you ask. The neighborhood is upper middle class and upper class. A quiet italian neighborhood with nice houses. You can search it on google and see for yourself. It is some what convenient but to get to the nearest train (A train), you would have to drive five minutes to the station near JFK airport and find parking.

 

^thank you for the offer, I still need to PM you about the garage but **** is really hectic at the moment. I am trying to stay in Manhattan if at all possible.

 

Not sure if that is a typo, but we have a two car driveway, not a garage. It does have a canopy on top to protect the cars from the weather a bit. Staying in Manhattan makes sense since it is quicker to get to work and such.

Take your time, man

 

Where in midtown do you work? I work in midtown as well. hows the hunt for a apartment going?

 

Niiiiice. I may hang out in the city tomorrow. I'll give you a call if I decide to go.

 

at AllianceBernstein which is 1345 avenue of the americas. Hit me up if you want to grab a drink after work sometime.

Finally got all my stuff moved in, I am at 49th street right between 8th and 9th.

 

WoooooFaaaaa. That's a great spot, there are hotties partying around there all the time, hopefully u came to NY alone and not with the wife.

 

Let me know if you want to hit up a party. Then again, our parties are college parties.
