Intern NYC housing

I am interning at a BB in NYC this summer. The office is in Midtown East and I am trying to figure out where to live. Does anyone have neighborhood recommendations? Should I live closer to my office or in a more fun area?

That's super vague.

The answer to your question is "yes, totally."

Like, where's the office? my recommendation is going to be way different if you're working for JPM in midtown, or in GS's JC office.

The only difference between Asset Management and Investment Research is assets. I generally see somebody I know on TV on Bloomberg/CNBC etc. once or twice a week. This sounds cool, until I remind myself that I see somebody I know on ESPN five days a week.

JPM in midtown

You don't want to live *right there.*  Midtown east is dead on weekends.  Think about what's an easy one-seat subway ride there.  Go to the UES if you want slightly cheaper and a combo of old money and bro-ey-ness.  Consider down in the east village/LES if you want hip-er.  A dark-horse recommendation would be to consider Queens.  LIC is a nice neighborhood that's pretty much all new buildings full of younger professionals, or if you need cheaper you could head out to Jackson Heights or somewhere around there.  I know somebody's going to suggest Brooklyn, but most of it is a hike to that area, despite what my buddy who writes for Bloomberg says. (He just goes into the office for the snacks.  His boss works in Princeton)

Will you be 21?
