Harlem isn't the best of areas... better than it used to be but I would not walk around there @ night by myself. Granted I'm a woman, maybe it's different for a guy...
And what is with my question in the first thread?
So if I find a room in Brooklyn (Bushwick/Williamsburg/Bay Ridge) there is no thing to worry about If I walk alone at 2 AM from the subway station to my room?
That might be tough for NYC (any of the boroughs). Try La Quinta in Long Island City. It might be a bit over your budget but if it includes breakfast then at least that's one meal you won't have to spend money on.

I stayed at a motel in South Brooklyn for 94 dollars per night
Most areas are safe, some are not. You need to evaluate each one separately.
THe only problem with getting to Weehawken or Union City is that some of the buses get iffy after Midnight.

There are females that walk around at 2am in Crown Heights and they are not on here being little btches, cmon grow a pair.
They are out there kicking asss if anyone tries something..but yet you are worried someone might take your lunch money...
i haven't planned to stay longer in Manhatten than midnight. So there aren't problems else? And it's not dangerous to walk alone in Weehawken/Union City at midnight?
Hmmm, I hadn't thought about that angle. Yes, those cities can be a bit risky at midnight alone.
Depends though, Boulevard East will be a lot safer than Bergenline Ave. Make sure the bus drops you close to where you are staying.
Start in a hostel or hotel when you arrive. Then look around for a place to stay for the rest of the summer. Some things through AirBNB are illegal, so you need to check around. Are you a student? You also might try to see if you can find something through someone here who is from your own country.
New York is relatively safe for a big city, but you do have to use caution and common sense.
