Bad advice, unless the bicycle is to be used for level commuting.

Not to say there aren't $500 bikes that would be fine for the original
poster, avoid the Bianchi San Jose. Most bicycles can fit a rack, so I
don't know how the fact that the San Jose can fit a rack is some sort of
huge selling point.
 
San Jose gearing is fine for manhattan. Next time I do Bike New York
it will be on San Jose. Theft is the biggest issue in NYC.
