[NYC-L] Info. about accommodation in New York

Congratulations Imer on finishing your masters degree :-)

Some suggestions on finding a place for the summer in NYC:

1) Get the NY Times or any other New York paper, preferably sunday edition, 
and look under "Sublets".  Sublets are apartments that people rent out for 
short periods of times, usually the summer.  (Usually people who have summer 
houses in the country and want to rent their apartment in the city, or 
students who return home for the summer but are locked into a year round 
lease.

2)  Check with local universities in NYC (NYU, Columbia, etc).  They 
sometimes will rent out apts to non-students because it is a source of income 
for them.  Or likewise, they might have listings somewhere of students 
looking to sublet their apartments for the summer.

3)  Do a search on the web as well for the above.

4)  Ask your contact at the law firm for help -- if you're an intern they are 
used to handling interns and may very likely have suggestions on where to 
live.

5)  If all else fails contact a rental agency or real estate agent in NY, but 
really try to avoide those bceause they will take a commission, likely a 
month's rent.

6)  Apartments in Queens or Brooklyn will probably cost you less than in 
manhattan.

Good luck!
