Park Slope and Williamsburg are OVERLY pricey. $1500 will not get you a very nice apartment here for that range, unless you live on the outskirts of those neighborhoods.
You may want to look into Fort Greene, or even Inwood. They are very nice areas that are up-and coming.
Strangely enough, even South Bronx is sort of an 'artists neighborhood' now that Williamsburg is way too pricey.
Go use a broker if you have less than a month and try and negotiate 10% commission as opposed to the normal 15.
And bringing a car is ONLY useful if you like leaving the city.
Without a car, you are trapped in New York, but parking is either extremely scarce, or extremely expensive.
