Upper East Side can be very expensive and certain parts are very exclusive. It is a great neighborhood, but yes, you will spend a fortune for a 400 square foot apartment (if you can call 400 sf anything but a box). Generally, apartments closer to the subways are a bit more expensive. If you don't need to take a subway to work or don't mond walking, I suggest looking a few Ave's away. To avoid paying a broker commission (which can equal one month's rent), comb the classifieds of the NY Times or the Village Voice.
There are a ton of great bars and hangouts on 2nd and 3rd Aves from the 40s on up. I am sorry I cannot give you any suggestions for for cheap eats (except for Gray's Papaya).
Good luck!

Cheap eats in NYC?
I spent a weekend there and cheap, good food was everywhere. So I wouldn't worry.

Smithers, use the amnesia ray.
You mean the revolver, sir?
Precisely.

Cosi is great. I didn't propose it because a sandwich and drink can cost $10 if not a bit more.
I agree with 500lb, there are a ton of cheap places, but I can't think of any "musts" to go to. Gray's is diff from King. I believe you can get 2 hot dogs and a soda for $2.
If you like pizza, Patsy's on east side is a must. Don't fall for the "Famous" whatevers Pizza (Famous Rays is overrated).

Mainly just stay away from high tourist/traffic areas. Those are the places where prices go from 1-2 a slice to 3-5 a slice.

I don't know what I was thinking....
But I do distinguish between people who like pizza and can eat it from any place and pizza snobs - like me. I will only eat pizza from certain places, like Patsy's, John's Pizza (few locations), and Joe's in the Village. I live on LI now and there are a few excellent places.

yah Im a lot like you, sure Ill eat some not so great pizza when drunk, or just really really hungry. But its a terrible thing being dissapointed by pizza. Its a fairly simple thing after all, dough cheese and sauce. How you can have an establishment serving pizza that is not good, I do not understand.
Even worse is bad hotdogs. Theres a hotdog stand right by my house, and they just arent good. Buns always soggy, hotdogs always tasting like theyve been boiling in the water for several days, ect ect.

i dream of great pizza
one of the many things i look forward to about the city
in NH, MI, and CO i have only found fair pizza joints
the best i've had is santapios(sp) boston, so far
and up here in NH the best around is a place called ramuntos
excellent by NH standards
hotdogs are not taken too seriously by restauraunts(very loose use of this word) up here either
