You might be able to find something on Riverside in Harlem. The only thing is those apartments don't come up on the market as often. People don't give them up as easily.
I frankly doubt that anything would be available for that price unless it was way above 125th street. And even then, most of the buildings ON RSD are co-ops.
For $2k, you can find something on the UWS, Broadway or West End Avenue, in the 90s-100s. On Riverdide itself, you'll be well on your way to the GWB as others have pointed out before you would be likely to find an apartment at or near $2k. An apartment could probably be found in the 150s, but the neighborhood there is not the same as Riverside on the UWS and the lower 100s.

Possibly a walk up in a not too great looking building. Just a few months ago, I'd agree unreservedly. The spiraling rents are awesome (in a negative way). To get a decent studio in the 90's-100's on Broadway, Columbus Avenue, prepare to shell out $2,500 and up. Maybe on Amsterdam in the 100's, one can squeeze into a tiny studio for about $2,000.
Sorry to be the harbinger of such negaive news for potential renters. It's an awful time to be looking to rent in NYC right now. Coupled with the current economic woes, job market situation, housing prices, I think we're in for some really tough times ahead.
Maybe rents will soften when the layoffs worsen, bonuses are severely cut, etc.

Yeah since less people are buying, more are renting, and factor in an already crowded rental market, not a good situation.
The authors of the report seem to think that it's positive that rents went down so little in September, but with inflation running at 3% to 4%, rents staying flat year over year is a pretty significant decrease.
