I thank you for all these suggestions. I will look into the double paned windows. I'm in Jackson Heights. I don't really think the noise will affect me so much, but for guests, and if my semi-serious girlfriend moves to NYC I gotta put her somewhere so she may be bothered by the noise.
Might not be coming in through the windows. Could be coming in through the walls.
It seems like there are these windows from a company called CitiQuiet. They are expensive. but they may do the trick. If anyone here is using them, please let us know.

After looking those up, that's what my friend has in her apartment. They are installed inside of the existing window. As I said, they work really, really well. (And depending on where you are in JH, you will definitely need them. Some streets there are very loud.)
Ditto. I face a noisy avenue (7th Ave, mid-50's) & unfortunately, I have a lot of windows all facing the street. I tried white noise machines, the fan, the ac but the best and cheapest are ear plugs! Takes some getting used to but they're great and cheap.
Heavy drapes and thick carpeting or soundproof windows. Soundproof windows are expensive and you have to get approval from the LL.
