What is the job you are getting? Title and size of the company? Many companies tend to cheap out on foreigners and out of towners.

you know there was a time i remember when being a New Yorker meant something. Now it's just a bunch of pussified hipsters that get mugged by 14 year olds on vacation in britain.

what I would suggest to you is...
Pick some neighborhoods and live there for 1 year. and move to another. It really helps to understand what you are getting for your money.
I recall living in west village. quite charming. small but livable place. food cost was quite high. there was nothing I could really afford that was decent food.
living east village, you got both high and low but with good food.
I would even try brooklyn but you tend to get stuck there and not really see manhattan.

As for your original question:
100k -> manhattan
not like Justin Bieber100k -> brooklyn
bit more but still not like Justin Bieber100k -> Queens
You be banging Justin Bieber

$100K is perfectly fine for Manhattan if you're ok with just a nice studio or small 1 bdrm. Plenty of extra for having fun.

just becareful of apartment scams. And don't use a broker to find such. If you are using one, make sure you dont pay any fees.

anything that people associate with NYC from the movies will be expensive, thus you should saty away from East Village and such (some great places to hang out there but not to live). THe hoods i would recommend:
Brooklyn:
Wiliamsburg
Greenpoint
BushwickQueens:
Astoria
Long Island City
SunnysideI'm sure there are plenty of others (but those are the ones i have experience with)

depends what your expectations are.
rents can be high in the rotten apple. 100k as a senior is def doable.

most employers here also offer company segway's to new employees. be sure to enquire when settling on a final number.

manhattan is probably not what you think. it's changing quickly. most people I know who moved here moved out of manhattan after the first year. not to say there aren't some good spots, but don't discount BK too soon.
