if ur workin in manhatten stay near enough the train station.if ur hopin to work around long beach then stay in the west end, its where all the pubs and clubs are. best thing to do is go to an estate agents or realtors. try gull reality on park avenue near waldbaums. ask for babs levi and tell her bryan and the irish guys sent you, she should sort you out. make sure your bring enough for first months rent and deposit and lie about how many people are stayin there because it is an expenisve place to rent.
