I heard St. Vincent's is decent. Any other ones?
Cabrini for Prelim. Medicine - I've heard that the brains of residents actually atrophy after a year there. Good place if you want to learn nothing.

I faced the same question a few months back... I am transitional at NY hosp. queens, & am very happy. I have freinds at st vincent's, & cabrini, & most of the other "cush" ny/nj places. I will tell you that the cushiest place in the ny metro area is NY hosp queens. I ranked it #1, as did 5 others from my med school class. you only have 5 call months, 4 months of electives (can do 2 away), never have to do night-float, but you benefit from those that have to do it b/c u get to leave at 10 when on call when night-float kicks in. my surg & mdcn months have been manageable, not bad.. and not much scut: dont do many bloods, IV's, ekg's etc. (i have yet to start an IV!!). also, know that both st vinnies & cabrini r not as cush as they once were (old rep.).. my buddies at these hospitals get scutted pretty hard.
FYI: my match list that i can remember (all TY yrs except cabrini for prelim):
1.NYHQ
2.st vinnies
3.st barnabas
4.the transitional hosp. in westchester (forgot name)
5.the other transitional place in NJ (forgot name)
6.flushing
7.cabrini
8.memorial sloan

1. Flushing transitional: run down hosp., do 4 months of surg q3 overnight, 4 months electives. residents were a bit weird. middle of the pack for nyc metro area TY program.
2. Maimonides transitional: stay away!! is basically a surg yr, run through the surg dept, 7 you do like 7-9 months of surg. everyone in the TY program is a foreign grad, & you get worked like no human should ever be worked. On my interview, it was me & a bunch of foreighn grads & the attending told me "this may not be the best fit for you"
3. NYMC sound shore transitional: nice program, director is a super nice guy, residents were good, 4 months of electives. nice hosp., nice neighborhood.
4. BI prelim:?
5. LIJ prelim:?
6. NYU downtown prelim?
