So, I've emailed a few places. Seems like only about 10% of places accept dogs, which I have.
I think I can share a 2br with a 23 year old girl who seems pretty cool in Stuyvesant Town, East Village for $1600 all inc. How does that sounds to you? Good area?
http://www.pcvstliving.com/ All rentals large villages kool vibe in Manhattan... Check out Airbnb might find a private space smaller for same $ from a landlord or sublease in decent logistical area - make sure there is not a long quarantine for your dogs coming into USA from UK... I worked in UK in 2004 and am still not allowed to donate blood for 10 years due to Mad Cow...
I read no rabies regarding animals in the UK but plenty in the USA - if you see an nocturnal animal out in broad daylight - raccoons, opossums or bats - likely rabid so quarantine going back to UK could be worse.
Hint: Use Google maps with satellite and street view - any place with great cafes and lounges nearby with good zagat's ratings (Zagat's now owned by Google so easy to see/add Zagat's ratings on Google Maps Google Earth) likely a fairly safe and upscale area with plenty of action within walking distance - If near giant projects use Google street view to see if Airbnb listings etc in "bad" areas (no rated cafes, run down buildings, no greenery/parks/plantings, crud logistics). Google is your friend for determining the quality of a neighborhood. Still in NYC use normal safety precautions in any big city - if out late and coming home with a prospective bang = cab it for both your safety until you know the immediate area and learn to navigate the subway.
In Boston or NYC I often take the T/Subway to get somewhere and then cab it back with a lady unless it is a great night and a short walk and you want to get her and you juices flowing. Medallion cabs in NYC and Boston very safe especially if you wait for the cab stand captain to hold you door and tip him he will only let you get into a proper cab known to him. I had an impatient bastard friend hail a cab and jump that cab stand - did not want to tip the cab captain - and it had been stolen by some delinquent kids - two hopped in the back and put a knife in his gut and told him to hand over his wallet and briefcase and watch - fortunately for him a NYC cabbie saw what happened realized it was a stolen cab and cut off the stolen cab and grabbed the dumb kids so he got his wallet and briefcase back but had to go back as a witness in the PIA stolen cab case - so get a feel for the area you are in and day versus night safety tips from the locals newstands, coffee shops, bar tenders are always reliable - they want you to be safe and come back as a repeat customer... Re pubs bars clubs - NYC Lounges practically invented for fast bang setup game. One of the top game experts likes to say in NYC don't drink while on the job - have your bartender who you should know by now after a week in the city give you soda water and lime on the rocks while you are bringing the special snowflake a few cosmos/cocktails and then slide back to your bang pad for a "nightcap" bang. Same for insta-bang coffee shop game logistics. In NYC or Boston etc Never take a bang prospect out for dinner until after she proves she is bang worthy after lounge or coffee shop bang game. Ladies beta surfing for 1st date free meals and no follow up sex dates is legendary in the USA. If they are dropping hints and mention eating and you are in a lounge or coffee shop - keep some veggies some fruit and cheese and crackers and cheap Moet champagne bottles in your bang pad fridge and when she is naked toast to her and feed her after you bang her. If she insists on anything else she is being difficult so excuse yourself like you are going to the men's room and just leave and go to your next lounge and orbiter in rotation - saves a fortune on fine dining surfers that nearly never put out. I and most of my associates only take them out to dinner after they have been bang certified and in solid steady lay rotation FWB style - then you are being a gentleman by feeding them in preparation for a solid evening of sport to follow as well as a solid morning lay after if that is what you want.
OBTW When I was in UK working and would go to a pub/beer garden/club they looked at me like I was a nutjob when I would try to leave a tip for the barman - thought they were being setup or on candid camera to see if they were honest - NYC is a big tipping culture - 15% to 20% for good to fair service in a salon or cafe or restaurant, a buck $1 a drink or coffee will do it in any bar or starbucks and then if a place is ultra hot with list/face control - it can take anywhere from a folded $20, $50 or $100 to get in like the owners brother. If it is a really busy place special event promo night etc might still have to wait if special detail NYPD/NYFD/Security have a counting clicker to make sure no one being let in over the max occupancy limit.
If I have great service from a good bartender - this works with males more so than females as females do not like to give away anything - I will tip him a $20 after tipping $1 a drink at the end of the night and say thank you to him for taking care of me when it was crazy busy... This would usually get me a great table or several times a VIP Card - no kidding I have several VIP cards that many bars/clubs give to preferred patrons from Boston to NYC to Honolulu just for doing the end of night $20 tip thing on a consistent basis - considering a hot spot will sell its VIP cards for $500 and up a free one from a good bartender pays for itself in NO waiting on busy nights and no doorman handshake needed as you are now a preferred customer - can often get you into private event parties as well - so VIP sections usually overblown poon deserts and no decent young ladies action - but a good VIP "door" card can be priceless in a place that clicks for you with plenty of female flow and conversions. Enjoy the city!
