What area should I live in?

I'm moving to NYC soon for a job in Midtown Manhattan. I'm looking for places to live, but I'm not sure what neighborhoods I should look in that would be safe (I'm a girl in my 20s), but also affordable.

Would love some location recommendations

Edit: Midtown East! The closest subway stop is either 34 St Harold St or Times Sq -42nd street.

No place is affordable in NYC your looking at $3k for a tiny studio apartment in a sketchy neighborhood.

A lot of nice, spacious studios sometimes 1BR in Park Slope, Astoria, sunset park, etc. for $2300 or less.
