Living in the other boroughs (Bronx, Queen, Brooklyn) or even outside NYC like in Weshester/Nassau County or across the river in New Jersey you will find cheaper apartments in decent/great safe neighborhoods, affordable grocery prices (Important) plus all the tips you mentioned will help a lot. Just the question is, Are you willing to take longer commutes into Manhattan?

As a frugal person, I’ve done all of these tips even before NYC. I totally cook and go to the cheapest supermarket…. Great tip on the bodega that has people that know you. Dating a woman for the air conditioning is pretty low though. Guys and gals - don’t do that. Get a better job and add more value to the world instead of mooching off others. Pick your friends and roommates consciously. If not your life will always be mediocre. Most humans in this society are asleep and do things unconsciously and without adding much value. Add value to the world more than you take.

Here's a tip I have. While convenience is a plus, I think first time New Yorkers should move to one of the outer boroughs, probably away from Manhattan. As you know Jon, I lived at the end of the M and R in Forest Hills for quite a while, and I've found that rent and mortgage prices in that area, as well as other parts of the city like Bensonhurst, Jamaica, and Norwood tend to be cheaper than say, Greenwich Village, Williamsburg, or LIC. Yeah, commute time can be a bit longer, but I kinda see it as the reason why my parents and I still live here. Also, where was that tunnel at the end of the video located?

Bet you knew you'd get me started when you mentioned York Ave. Actually the Q is now really close, but for much of my time here I worked in the Chanin Bldg. Working at one of the busiest intersections on earth, then riding the 4/5/6 to 86th was crazy, but tension just peeled away as I walked east and it got quieter each block until finally I could see Carl Schurz Park at the end of my block. Pretty great place to live in Manhattan. And now the Ferry stops at 90th. Imagine, you have to walk through a park during your commute.

If you don't care about eating repetitive things and just want cheap but delicious food, learn how to bake/grill chicken and get a rice cooker. You can be somewhat lazy and do rice and veggies with very little management and if you bake the chicken its mostly just waiting. chicken(or meat, use your freezer and stock up on sales!)+veggies+rice=cheap good rounded meal you can have multiple times a week. You can even cook the chicken all at once and reheat throughout the week.
