I don't want to sound like an ass, but all this can be found by just using a search engine. Public transportation is the way to go as that is what pretty much millions of people use in NYC. You will hate the commute, but that's life. You are at least in your 20's so act like an adult and do some research. This is not rocket science. You want to save money? Buy groceries. NYC has cheap grab and go food as well.

Thanks for your advice and I don't mean to ask a pointless question on here. I feel like this is where I will find the most value in the response especially with people having relevant experiences as to what i'm going through. I feel like Yahoo Answers, GlassFish, outdated blogs of the cost of living in NYC, and other sites I will find through Google would be much less valuable.
