I'm not in NY but I think 1.200 is a bit tight for such a big city...

1200.00 a month? is not nearly enough money to live on unless you were living in Mexico.
Based on the amount you will be paid, you will be making 7.50 per hour - you should be making 1200 per week just to survive in NYC. Rent per month will run you any wheres from 1200 to 3200 per month depending on where you live.
