    I know most people that go to Queens anyway doing the J1 go to Woodside....its a real Irish area :) and im pretty sure there a good few Irish centres and stuff that can help you find jobs and stuff while your there and acc price wise isnt too bad compared to other parts :) Im staying in Woodlawn in the Bronx tho with a friend, again a real Irish area similar to Woodside and its only 25/30mins on the subway to the city and loads of J1ers head there :) x

    Hi I'm thinking of going to New York as well. I'm planning on going alone because most of my friends are going to Canada, which I have no interest in doing. I'm looking for any tips on where to stay and if anyone is interested in sharing accommodation.
