kaffe 1668, it's in tribeca. near greenwich and chambers. they brew the coffee using clover machines. decent price too, i think the cheapest cup the have is like 2.50.

i have to vouch for roasting plant. the barista messed up on a drink so he gave me a free cup of ethiopia.. it really was a mix of espresso and coffee with a thick layer of crema.

I also tried this one joint's espresso on houston.... but i totally forgot the name. it was decent but nothing to call home about.

Hey everyone,

I'm planning on moving to NY at the beginning of summer (june/july).

A couple of friends have recommended Astoria, and Brooklyn.

Advice on where to live? I'm looking to spend about 1.6k/mo, willing to share if necessary etc. Any advice about areas to stay away from, etc. would be wonderful. I basically want somewhere convenient to commute to work. Thanks all!

[superbeveridge]

I am heading to NYC at the begining of March for a couple days just cause and I am looking for a cheap place to stay. I would prefer to avoid sketch bag hotels and hostels but it seems the cheapest hotel I can find it the Ace or Chelsea for like $250. Anyone got any secret spots to stay?

Used it once before in Manhattan and got a decent deal.

Should be able to find a list of hotels they use online too just on the off chance there are any in there you don't fancy.

[ouss]

tell me more about this

[AlanT]

tell me more about this

Choose the 'Name Your Price' option, select an area you would like to stay and the minimum level of hotel you would be happy with.

Low ball an offer and see if it gets accepted.

[Guest wockawockawocka]

I'm actually in the same boat. It's funny because a lot of people say it is impossible to live in ny for less than 100k a year or more but really? no.

I'm looking to have a place for 1000 or 900 or so a month.

So far I think that Greenpoint might be a good option.

I'm not really into roommates so i'm just gonna try and grab a studio.

As much as I would love to live in a closet in LES or East Village I think I am leaning towards Brooklyn. Greenpoint, Billyburg, Carrol Gardens, maybe Dumbo? heck Cobble Hill. I'm sure there are some nyers here with some advice. I just hope a brotha doesn't have a hard time getting a job when i get there. I'd be screwed. big time. !
