If you rent cheaply (sufficiently far uptown or certain parts of the outer boroughs) and live cheaply (this excludes a lot of dining/entertainment options but leaves plenty more), you will be fine on that salary.

I'm from Queens, and as much as certain people from Manhattan will make fun of it, many parts of Queens are decently priced and decently accessible.

If you really want to live in midtown/downtown Manhattan, then it will be quite tricky. Just rent would eat up a lot of your take-home income. You would probably need to find roommates or something.
