From LA, looking for a new area to live, with a young modern community. No kids. The area in Manhattan is the Financial District.

Good luck. The LA->NY transition is not an easy one. I speak from experience.
I agree with the others about one of the North Jersey communities likely being the best fit (Teaneck etc).

one thing to keep in mind is that many NY area community are homogeneous as far as which part of the chassidish/yeshivish/moern/etc spectrum they fit into. Some are more varied.

What's hard about it? Is it mainly the weather?

The weather is a big part, but there's so much more. The whole east coast way of life is very different. The pace of life is much faster than that in California and I find people to be much more abrasive, in general. The frequent long commutes that people consider normal totally blows my mind. There are other small things too. Fruits and veggies that aren't available here (or are astronomically priced). And don't get me started on the driving.

That's pretty much applicable for moving from anywhere to NYC metro.
