For just 4 months? You will have an extremely difficult time unless you are rich right now and just looking to enjoy the experience.

First not many landlords will allow you to rent for just 4 months. It is usually a year lease and if they let you rent for 4 months expect to pay extra to do this. The rent is outrageous as it is if you want to live in a safe area.

The job market is very tough to say the least. You didnt say what field you want to work in but in general its very tough. To be completely honest it might even take the whole 4 months to even find a job.

If you wanted to move to New York for the long term thats one thing but just to move there for 4 months is not worth it at all. I think you should reconsider this to be completely honest with you.

I would look into a sublet. You can't get an apt (your own lease) for that short a time. Maybe a residence hotel would be a good idea.

If you don't know where you're going to be working, and don't come from a lot of money, it's going to be somewhat expensive. I'm not sure what your financial situation is, or if you're a college student though, so I'm unsure. When you say New York, I'm taking it you mean Manhattan, but for less money, and still close access, neighborhoods in nearby Brooklyn, are really good options.

It's going to be tempting, only being their 4 months though. Most people I know really become attached to the area. Where are you coming from? I wish you the best of luck. The market is kind of shot, so if you look around, or go through a rent company, they can help you find something for 4 months. Most vacant apartment owners are custom to this and would take 4 months straight up guaranteed rent money, probably for even a hundred less a month, in a heartbeat. One tip I can give you is, don't bring a car, because it'll be a pain finding parking. Parking can also be expensive if you drive around. In terms of work, I'm unsure of what kind of work it is you're looking for, but there's always a job around that pays like $10-12 an hour. Probably not ideal to live in Manhattan, but enough to do alright.

I have to agree with Jackson, assuming you don't come from a wealthy, or upper middle class family, that's going to pay for you to live there.I wouldn't say not living in New York isn't worth it, but a lucrative place in Manhattan just isn't worth it, if you are barely getting by. Maybe you have a semester off from college and you're looking to have a good experience? I'd say move to a nearby neighborhood in Brooklyn or Queens. Public transportation is still very good there, especially Brooklyn, and you'll be able to get to parts of Manhattan quicker than other Manhattan residents.

Hopefully you got money because it is as expensive as hell to live here.
