NYC neighborhood tier list - 1st Year
Wish I had this when I was starting this past summer, so far I think it’s gotta be:
1. LES
2. East Village
3. Meatpacking??
4. Murray Hill

The fact you’re listing LES and mention you just moved to NYC says everything we need to know about this list.
Aye it’s for first years, cheap rent is king yo.
Gotta pinch my ZYN pennies where I can.
Associate:
LES is a wild pick.
UES highly underrated
It’s properly rated — it’s boring as shit
I love the UES. Yes it is boring as hell but it’s nice and quiet and you can easily go meet your friends elsewhere in the city.
Don’t live in the city, however I honestly prefer Brooklyn (Bed Stuy, Flatbush, Williamsburg) to Manhattan overall. Its just the commute into the office would be rough.
whilst bedstuy and flatbush might've been gentrifying pre COVID, I would not want to live there now, and especially not if I had a girlfriend who had to visit me later at night. Same with LES. Heights, Williamsburg, Park Slope, DUMBO are still safe though everywhere has taken a downturn in that regards recently
I think FiDi is underrated and EV is overrated
Isaiah_53_5 💎🙌💎🙌💎 would probably disagree
UES ftw
Was this list made by a rat? LES is heaven, if so
For analysts and junior ASO with college Debt
1/ Murray Hill (curry hill!)
2/ Hell’s Kitchen (some parts of Hudson Yards)
3/ Chelsea
4/ West village (I think East is a dump)
This is garbage.
1) West Village and Soho are tied - primarily depends on the vibes you want
2) Noho
3) Greenwich village
4) North half of Tribeca (lispenard and a couple streets down)
5) Flatiron
6) Gramercy park (around the park)
7) Lower streets of Chelsea (in the teens)
Nice luxury building in Tribeca. No question.
The West Village is overrated. The apartments are old and they’re not even that nice unless you’re paying 10k for a 1 bed. Girls go wet if you say you live alone in the village though.
If you’re an analyst, just live in LES. Cheap, downtown, food/drink. The setup is good for dates - drink and then hop to your place.
Murray hill sucks, move on.
