Where to Live in New York

Hi everyone, Was wondering where is the best area to live in New York and the stereotypes of each? I was considering anywhere in Chelsea, Greenwich Village, East Village, Gramercy Park, Soho and maybe Tribeca or Financial District (only because roommate wants to live here).

Work is in Flatiron district.

FiDi is dead after 7PM on weekdays and especially on the weekends. The places you suggested such as Gramercy and EV you're more likely to find a younger crowd and cheaper apartments. Chelsea and Soho will cost you a bit more though. All of these places are centrally located to the point where if you did want to go to another neighborhood walkability wouldn't be that much of an issue and transit is everywhere
