Manhattan, you had my whole heart! 🗽✨ Last March, I had the pleasure of attending the IECSC Trade Show in New York City and it was absolutely amazing the energy, the education, the beauty industry all in one place! 🙌🏽 But the trip wasn't all business… I got to soak in the magic of Times Square, stand in awe at the World Trade Center, and walk the iconic Brooklyn Bridge 🌉 honestly a full New York moment! The city is everything they say it is and more. One thing though next time I need a...

We forgot to check into the hotel room so our room was canceled, but we went to some random motel and still felt safe. We went for my birthday and it was such a great girls trip. We got into the water in McCloud river and it was great!

I was for two weeks camera acting workshop in there. I lived close to the Walk of Fame area. But my favorite place was Venice Beach, Santa Monica and Beverly Hills. There is a lot of homeless people and every morning you can smell weed. But it was great experience

Do not let your guard down at night, especially in the downtown or college area. Every year there are a handful of stories of women being followed by men in cars. Drinks being spiked at bars has been a known problem here for decades.

It’s pretty safe. I feel like it’s every other city… i’ve lived in Texas my entire life so I am pretty used to traveling in cities, and I’ve never felt unsafe being there… It’s nice and easy to make friends along the way

Brooklyn is generally safe, I’m in southern Brooklyn, in Bensonhurst. This neighborhood does border Dyker Heights which tend to be a very conservative area, however. I’m queer, and I have walked around with my girlfriend, and never had an issue. I would generally say, respect peoples personal space, including personal cars, and you should be fine.

Super safe college town. Pretty much dead at night. During the day feel free to wander around if you want to. The only dangerous things would be nature if you get lost or something like that in the fields. People are friendly but there are always a few weirdos or creeps wherever so still be careful.
