Can you deduct a real estate brokers commission as part of my moving expenses when I moved to a new city and the broker found me my new apartment?

I moved to New York and I used a broker to help me find my new apartment and she charged a months rent.  Can I deduct this as part of my moving expenses?

No. That is not a deductible moving expense.
You will find what is and is not a deductible moving expense in IRS Pub. 521:
