Cripes, per capita, little old Halifax, NS, Canada (pop. 380,000) has a worse crime rate. There are very few spots in NYC that you can't venture without being surrounded by people, and in midtown area, by cops. I don't live there, but have been many times and have never felt unsafe. That said, I'm sure there are some spot, like any city, where you'd be smart to avoid, especially at a late hour. Just use some common sense ;-)

Yeah I just threw that per capita thing in there for......I actually have no idea why I threw it in there.

Well..I thought you made a good point though. Most people see the sheer size of NYC and assume it's dangerous. As well, as maybe taking in its more violent past, but nowadays..pretty safe. Within reason.

I guess I was just stressing that NYC is a safe place to go. Hmmmm haven't been there is a while....might have to book myself a trip!

You have a better chance of getting your poster stolen by some insane PJ fan than getting mugged in NYC...

I remember in 2003 my now ex-gf was w/ me and she was sick so I walked to the drug store @ 2am to get her some medicine so she could sleep... I was completely fine and safe...

people just think really bad things when they come to NYC... but really it's a wonderful place and most people are nice... just don't get in their way when they are in a hurry and you'll be fine.

question for everyone who said "there's so much to do in NY." Everyone always says this. but every time I've been there, I've never really done anything. what is there to do that you can't do in any other major city? (and don't say get take-out all night, because that's not "doing" something). This is a serious question, I'm not like ragging on NY or anything, I just don't get it.

I got mugged in broad daylight but that was almost 10 yrs ago. I got my purse snatched in the village on Broadway.

but, and Im guessing the OP is a guy, you sound guy-ish, I think guys don't really have a problem

and it's magnitude...not magnatooooood

here this might help:

there are 'cheap' places to eat over there by 34th Street, where MSG is. There's a Chinese buffet. I don't know how healthy it is but it is 'affordable'

and for God's sake, I would not recommend for someone to stay in Jersey

that's the best you got? that's basically the same as the argument for being able to get take-out all night.

Crazyworm: This hotel is probably your best bet for Manhattan:

I doubt you'll find a better place in midtown that includes breakfast for less than the $212 they are quoting for 6/24 right now.

My 16 year old daughter and a male friend went into the city to visit friends at Julliard last week. Train in, lunch, show, visit, train out. No problem.

NYC is not only safe, it is fun. The cultural change from one block to the next, as if there is a line there is very cool.

I have been to Kentucky, it is a little different.

How about all the museums that you can go to. Central park, Riverside park. A sports game. Night clubs, jazz clubs, tons and tons of live music, much of which is high quality. The theater. Just walking around cool places like South St Sea Port. Biking up and down the West Side highway.

If you can't find things to do in the City, than that means you're either not looking, or specifically trying not to do things.

Agreed. Thing is...for me, I just walk from Central Park to Chinatown, and I feel like I've done something. Haha. It's all good. It's the only city I know, where I can just walk aimlessly and have the time of my life.
