According to the movies, NYC is one big crime scene.
Since you have lived on Manhatten since 99, have you experienced anything?

i personally nor any of my friends have ever been mugged. NYC is very safe. Crime is at all time lows. I just would not be waling in the alley ways nor will you have to. If you are on the subways, do not flash money or open your wallet. Always keep an eye on your wallet or purse when riding the subways especially when they are crowded.
Other than going to the Zoo or Yankee stadium, i never go above 86th street. There is no need for me to be in Harlem, Spanish Harlem, the bronx....Alphabet City can also be a lil dangerous and maybe scary to you at night since the neigborhod tends to fill up with people on the street that dont look so normal. Just dont walk around like you never seen a skyscraper before and i am sure you will be fine.
Do you know what hotel you are staying at? If you do not have a hotel, look into the 3030 hotel. Good location, easy to get to Grand Central Station and catch a lot of subways, and discounted rates in summer make it s a steal.
