NEW YORK October '13 - Help?

[Stinkyyy]

Decided to throw in the towel with my stupid ass college degree and i'm taking all the money i've worked so fucking hard to earn and i'm coming to NY in October. I'm shitting bricks but it's going to be fucking incredible.

Basically y'all should tell me any places I should definately go see, anywhere decent I can crash when I eventually run out of $$ for the hostel, anyone about who could put me up or give me their company for a day?

Everything and Anything appreciated guys, Cheers!1

** Where can I find decent gig listings too, google search hasn't been so useful as usual.

Long Island is expensive in summer but can find good paying summer work a lot of times with housing. At the end awesome town called MONTAUK you can find pretty cheap rentals in winter. Finger lakes is nice and upstate is nice more woodsy then city like

I'm heading to New York late October/early November. From what I read on here, Upstate New York is supposed to be nice, and I'm looking for somewhere to camp but also make some moves and show my portfolio at art galleries. I'd say try Craigslist for the gig listings, and try using the couchsurfing website as well. But the best thing, always, is to just go out there and talk to some people in the city, see if anybody is willing to give a helping hand or some good directions/advice.
