Default Living in NYC

So for the summer I'm thinking about getting a room in NYC as I'll be based in JFK. Rather then paying rent and commuting and ALSO paying rent for a crashpad, I think I'd rather just live there, at least while I'm on reserve. So i'd rather have my own room. So anyone on here live in the city or nearby? I want to know what areas are ok to be walking on the street at night. I was looking at Craigslist to see what was out there. Manhatten...hahahaha. But I did find descent places for prices a first officer can afford outside of the city. But one requirement is it needs to be in a pedestrian friendly place. So I can walk to the Subway or trains, go to the grocery store, etc. I don't mind a longer train ride either. So places like Jersey are ok too. So any ideas??

I'm in the same boat, as I expect to be based out of JFK soon. Let me know if you are looking for a roomate with a first year FO budget.

Are you guys at Comair? How long is the reserve call out?

It is going to be expensive no matter how you look at it. Kew Gardens or Astoria Queens are places you might want to look at.
