Yes.

About $1000/month for rent, give or take, and $112 for a metrocard. Plus whatever you spend on food (depends how much you cook) and entertainment.

Depending on the level of comfort you are used to, you can go a lot cheaper. I shared a room in Bed-Stuy for $350 / month and biked to Hacker School.

I did then blow the money I'd saved by eating out every day, but that's a different matter.
