NYC (moving-related)
the upper east side is seriously a post-college dormatory for wealthy white kids.
And "Hipsters" are poor?
i think everyone has a different definition for what a hipster is, but if you're talking about artists and musicians that continue to pioneer in the boroughs, my answer is yes... many are poor. that's why they keep moving into low-rent areas. the yuppies that follow them with new businesses and condos, however, are not.

At this point in 2012 I dont think NYU grad "Out Of Town Oliver" moving Brooklyn is any poorer than St. Louis Chet on 73rd and 3rd.
Im just sayin dont rule out the "uncool" hoods.
I can recommend my neighborhood of Prospect Heights / Crown Heights or "Pro-Cro" as the realtors are calling it these days. It's an express stop on the 2/3/4/5 line and it's still very affordable even though it's gentrifying rapidly. You can be at Grand Central in 30 minutes during rush hour.

I see LIC or the Financial District in your future.
Thanks all. Forgot about this thread. I'm staying in WILLIAMSBURG with my cousin for now.
I need to buy boots and button up shirts for work. Anyone know of sales this week?
I actually just bought myself some new button-downs for work yesterday at Nordstrom Rack in Union Square. For boots, there's a DSW a block away, also in Union Square.
