Now although there's probably a bunch of threads about NY, I just simply can't go through all of them, so I'll ask here:
If I wanted to move to NY, and let's say I have $80k every year in the beginning (would it be enough for some comfortable living?), how much money would I have to pay to live in a 2 bedroom apt. (about 800-1000sq.f.) in the nice NYC area and how much money would it take for other living expenses (going out, restaurants, etc.)?. When I say nice, I mean, ok area with "close" access to everything trendy and so on. I would be solo.

Well you gotta understand, I've never been to NY and everybody told me how monstruosly expensive everything is, so I have to ask.

Yeah, Bo
I don't live there but 80k seems about minimum, especially if you want to be close to downtown.

80k is more than enough money to live comfortably. You pretty much have your pick of anywhere in the city to live with that.

sweet.

80k is fine for NYC living.
you can basically pick where you want to live minus a few very exclusive neighborhoods. Look to pay 1800-4000 for a 2 bedroom in the hipster areas.
Some will be less, some will be more. I highly suggest finding at least 1 roomate. You get A LOT more for your money if you both willing to throw down for some good rent. As for goin out, it;s all relative man -- some places you'll get a $4 Amstel light and some places it'll be a $9 Amstel Light. It's just the way it goes in this big city. Ebb and Flow ...

is it hollywood?

80k, if you play your Prada covered cards right, can afford you the image status you so desire in any city, worldwide.
granted, 180k would be easier.
but 80k will do

maybe monte carlo or some stinking rich european coastal town .
