It was the best experience of my life especially since I went during Christmas time, it has always been my dream to go to New York especially during the most of December (it was really packed) but overall would 100% go again and spend time in a different month to see more of it. It was the best time of my life.

I went to attend my cousin’s wedding and it was amazing. There were dozens of places I wanted to check out but didn’t have any time for. The Natural History Museum is as amazing as I remember it was when I was a kid and the Williamsburg shopping district was a lot of fun to browse. We sort of lucked out with the weather because it was beautiful and sunny the day of the outdoor ceremony when it was a downpour the day before. So your mileage may vary during the spring. One thing to note is that...
Posted: February 18, 2026Love it! Such a lively and beautiful city ✨ I look forward to going back and trying a lot more food places and visiting more attractions. The subway experience is never dull I love to see the different performers.

The tourist-oriented areas of NYC are relatively safe, both during the day and at night. Obviously, watch your personal belongings at all times (do not leave them unattended), but you can walk comfortably through the streets. The worst I've personally seen are rowdy people on the subway and cat calls on side streets at nighttime.
Posted: March 9, 2026For the most part it's safe, just keep moving. You don't have to let anyone talk to you. I find it safer to barely make eye contact and just keep moving. Be careful of your surroundings and make sure to avoid the homeless people who seem mentally ill. Mind your business and they'll mind theirs
Posted: February 10, 2026New York is pretty safe. However, like any major city- there's always chaos lurking around the corner. Unexpected things happen all the time here. If someone on the train seems unwell or confrontational - don't interact with them. Have your wits about you and you'll be fine!

Hi ladies of the world! I'm new here and enjoy meeting new people and learning about different cultures and of course visiting them. I have a couch in my livingroom and live in the trendy Lower East Side of Manhattan in NYC. Would love to meet and possibly stay with someone in Amsterdam or Paris this fall.
