The streets were safe enough but I was very attentive in metro. There are cool restaurants all around the city. It’s called an expensive city but I believe there are budget friendly activities and restaurants

We stayed at Brooklyn cause it was much cheaper than Manhattan, but still close enough to be at the Times Square in 30 minutes. The public transport is fascinating there, the metro network is easy to use and comparing to how much we used it, its relatively cheap. The food is expensive and full of calories but so so so delicious. It worths to try it, really. For program: watching a Broadway musical, visiting the Statue of Liberty and that small Zoo in the huge Central Park is a must. I liked every and each moment of this trip (even tho we visited Queens where I didn't felt that safe than anywhere else).

It was my first time in NY,I really liked the city and the vibes but I dislike people there and prices. Of course KFC,McDonalds and etc. are cheap but if you want eat out in good restaurant it can costs you a fortune. The city very big,I would rather say enormous. Advice*always take 20 minutes extra because metro train cannot to come. Overall,NYC is the city where everyone can find something for their souls and pockets 🤗
Posted: December 28, 2024I treated my dad to an immersive experience for his birthday and it was great. I rode on the subway for the first time which was also an exciting experience. We spent 2 days together then he left and stayed behind on my own for a few days more where I went on a self-guided walking tour of DUMBO and Brooklyn Heights on my own which was so memorable but would have been better with company.

My experience in New York was wonderful. I highly recommend going at least once and visiting places like the Statue of Liberty, Times Square, and the Summit Observatory. It has an incredible view. And the iconic Central Park, you can't miss it.

Travelled to NYC solo for the first time in june. Best experience were the Broadway Shows I went to see: Wicked and MJ One. Times Square is beautiful and SOHO great for shopping. I stayed at the Upper West Side, saw the MET that didn’t have a lot of people at the opening time until 12PM.
Posted: September 4, 2024A great and amazing city. All the times I went there I had never been disappointed. Great museums, food. The people are amazing. You are never bored. There are lots of things to entertain you. One of the greatest city in the world.
Posted: September 1, 2024Was my second time in NYC and I was travelling with two friends. We always felt safe. food was delicious but the amount of food is insane, we always shared two main dishes and it was enough😅 we did not do the usual touridtic stuff this time, so it was a complete different trip this time

I loved traveling solo to New York City. It felt surreal being there for the first dream. So many of my favorite movies were filmed in the city so it felt like a dream come true visiting there for the first time. I stayed a hostel near Central Park and loved the location. Ate some amazing pizza and bagels and most some nice fellow travelers along my trip that I ate pizza with and they bought me dinner. Traveling solo has really opened up my eyes to the possibilities of just doing things alone and facing your fears. Do not wait for others to do things you want to do. Just go out and do them alone.

I loved new york city, i think the people out there were amazing and so kind. I felt safe but in the night i didn’t feel so safe like i did in the morning and afternoon. I stayed at the chelsea inn hotel and it was perfectly fine because i just slept there and for that it was great. I would say everyone should see this city once in their life

NYC is extremely safe because there are tons of people always around, lots of cameras and surveillance around so someone is literally always watching, people will help if you’re in need, there are tons of police present in all parts of the city

New York City is safe if you have someone you know to show you around and how to get around! I go to work and walk home late at night alone daily and I feel, that when I am being aware of my surroundings, I am safe .
