Life in NY

Going to be doing soph summer in NY, originally from a small town in the middle of nowhere so no idea what it's gonna be like in a city so I have a few questions!

Are there any recommendations on cheaper places to live? NYU dorms seem super expensive, I'm okay with a little bit of a commute, is NJ doable at all. Or Brooklyn.

What is there to do for fun?

Thanks in advance!
