I had a place in Manhattan earlier this year.
The con's outweighed the pro's.
Pro- everything is around, food, clubs, lounges, bars, anything
Cons- noise, roaches/mice (not where I was), expense
If you can find a place in Astoria/Park Slope/BK H, then you should without a doubt go for it as the rent is at least 1/2 of what you would pay for NYC apartments.
