Using this cost of living estimator, monthly spend for a single person in Queens is about 12k/year + rent (which I'll run to 12k a year as well, a findable price if you've got roommates). That's 24k a year.

A 50k gross income in NYC becomes $36,850 post-tax, and $29350 after the 15% taken here. Looks like a solid $12k of flex.

If you're got a family and your own place, this is an entirely different story, of course. SF is also another story, with the kinds of rent prices there.
