Any takers on this one. Basically, a nice urban setting (where one can walk to places) and where seems to be alot of young people.
"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
Cool places to live in NYC metro area besides Hoboken?

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.

Actually, Harlem is becoming very upscale and a move-to destation for young people.
Brooklyn is going in that direction, too.

Harlem, give me a break. I am white, have NO desire to live in Harlem and would not be welcome either.
Parts of Brooklyn are cool, as well as Queens. Manhattan is too expensive and chaotic.
"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

It's surprising, you living in the tristate area and having about as much knowledge of NYC as some denizen of middle america or even worse a down-south hick. You need to get your facts straight bro...

That is because I am from the Southern part of NJ and never ventured off into NYC often.

Harlem or anything above 125th st is going through gentrification as it has been for some time- higher rents are driving many of the minorities or lower income people that lived there for years out (most likely to the bronx) in favor of middle to upper class professionals (many of whom are white). With that said, even in the more predominately black and latino neighborhoods, you won't be bothered because of the color of your skin. This isn't the 70s and 80s where you would no doubt be risking an ass whopping for venturing into one of those neighborhoods as a caucasian.
And regardless, it's new york-you can be in one of the most affluent neghborhoods in the city and then walk one block down and be in the ghetto.
If you want a nice neighborhood with reasonable prices I would suggest an area like forest hills in queens or certain parts of brooklyn (such as williamsburg which will probably become pretty darn expensive in a few years).

[edit]
"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

However, racism still exists and the races are still very segregated...look around you.
A predominant black neighborhood prefers not to have any white people in their neighborhood and vice versa. If you think otherwise, you are ignorant.

When I take the train into NYC, I see a lot of upscale looking apartments near the 125th st station that weren't there before.
