I was born and raised in NYC (I still reside here) Excellent Tips, but I would never view NY as Safe or Safer in the last few years. I live in Jamaica Queens (high crime rate area) and I work in Manhattan right across the street from from Madison Square Garden. Alot of crime has been happening both in and out of the train station in that area, during rush hour and earlier. It's just way too many homeless and substance users on the street, and sometimes police are not everywhere. I leave work at 10 pm, and when the cops are not around, all the tricky tricky people are out and about. I love the nights I leave work, and I see police and all of the tricky people are no where to be found. Plus, as an ESL Teacher, my students don't speak English, and I often worry about them being targeted due to the language barrier. ⚘️
I’ve lived in NYC all my life ( more than 5 decades) and I’m a lot older than the host so down playing the increase and intensity in violence is beyond naïveté. Not through the crack or heroin epidemic we’re stores occupied by the police or most items stored behind sealed glass. Never did we have the amount of blatant disrespect for law enforcement or outright deviant behavior. New York no longer exists this is sanctuary city crime is legal it’s very dangerous ‼️please don’t come here. With all due respect she’s lived in sanctuary city all her life but she’s never lived in NYC.
Are there migrants moving into Jamaica?
@@xmuta Yes...I've seen a few. The family who has owned their Chinese Restaurant for years, lives right upstairs from their restaurant. I have also seen a fee Jewish Families walking around at night I guess looking for property to possibly purchase and invest in. Many spanish speaking families live on my street also. I would say Jamaica is becoming a little diverse now. I think that's good👍🏽
Anyone who was an adult in the 70s and early 80s will disagree with this
Definitely need talk about safety on transit especially in this day and age 💙💙
I have seen cops chase people who hop the turnstile or run through a gate and I've seen people get assaulted piss and shit on stations cops do nothing waste of tax dollars transit should be free it's dangerous insanely and overpriced
Thanks for sharing your great tips. I am planning a solo trip to NYC & i am happy i came across your vlog.
When I visited NYC we did get into an unmarked black suv at the airport to get to our airbnb. It was super clean and they offered free Fiji water and took us where we wanted for cheap lol it worked but I wouldn’t do that again if I were alone. I was with family that time
this was so helpful! Thank you! :)
Thank you so much for everyone of these tips I am from a very small town & go into the city once in awhile have not been there since covid ,but intend on going back. Thank you for caring for us have a lovely day !
of course 💖💖 thank you for watching :)
Nice FYI/safety tips vlog! ❤❤❤
Omg.I am glad I found your channel and this video .I do plan to come and study here.
Great video! im hoping to got to NYC this year and visit some old jazz clubs.
travelling to NYC in august, thank you!
Love New York but the summer time alway get extra crazy
I this generation of young people it’s not the city it’s the politicians that run it like my hometown of Chicago it’s beautiful especially the downtown area just like California is beautiful but the politicians are the ones not doing their job it’s about power not the people and that’s just on the real
Thank you for sharing these tips.
Can you give safety tips for using the bus or water taxi?
Just use common sense.
@@xmutaa lot of people don’t have that, you’d be surprised
1:10... this right here. 👍
Thanks for all the tips, I’m from LA so I’m familiar with the feel of being around crime. And it sucks because you have to constantly watch your back. Anyway, I’m coming to visit in November where do you recommend a safe area to stay at and hotel?
Thank for this amazing video. ❤ I'm thinking to go to NYC alone, always wanted to go there but no one wants to come with me as there always busy. Would I be ok for me to go on my own?
Also people beg for money in the tourist train stations like Times Square, Rockefeller Center, Herald Square, etc.
I live in Boston I take the T (subway) all the time i dont drive so thats how i get around ,,, all the stuff you said about the subway i do it here .. ive seen people fall in the tracks more than once.. i stay way back ..from the tracks when my friends come i tell them the same thing stay away from the tracks.... have to be alert at all times..
The tip about the weapons got me super scared... Do I really have to get a weapon? O_o... I'm starting to rethink if I actually want to visit NYC by myself.
💙
is it okay to keep your dslr on your neck?
Do you still have people giving out CDs and asking you for money around times square?
Is Uber a good way to get around on NYC as a tourist?
No, too expensive. Also, very difficult to get an Uber in Manhattan.
@@xmuta thanks. Would you recommend yellow taxi instead?
@@thebossman60 - Best is the subway. But it’s kind of dangerous now in the subway.
@@xmuta dangerous in Manhatten during the day? I ask because I am taking my wife and 2 teen girls on vacay between Christmas and New Years.
@@thebossman60 - There are many homeless people with mental issues roaming the streets and subway. You should be fine if you keep your eyes open, use common sense, and stay away from certain areas of NYC.
Have you ever been a victim of crime yourself in nyc
RIGHT HERE THEY NEED TO PUT N.Y.P.D. POLICE TRANSIT 🚇🚇🚇 DISTRICT COPS 👮♀️👮♂️ 🚔 INSIDE THE SUBWAY TRAIN 🚇 STATION CAB CARS NOT AT THE TURNSTYLES WHERE YOU SCAN & $$$ PAY 2.90 CENTS WITH YOUR OMNY SCANNER CARD PASS.
People that aren't from NYC aren't going to know what the TLC is.
LOL, NYC is getting safer but make sure to carry pepper spray 😂
I’m 6 feet 5 inches 326 lbs no one messes with me.
Not in NYC, buddy.
What you do if someone pulls a gun or just even a knife? Thats my concern, I live in Germany but my family is from Serbia. I really have zero fear when it comes to being in Germany someone with a knife or gun is very unlikely. But i know when i am in Serbia someone pulling a gun could be possible and if thats the case you are screwed.
And i think NYC is also like that (or even worse i guess), some people could carry a gun or a knife and are willing to use it.
Are you from Bangladesh?
Gosh! I live in Dubai and consider relocating to NY and I just cought myself that you would never find such videos for Dubai as it is extremely safe for women except probably Karama late at night. We don't lock the entrance door in the highrise I am living in.
I've been to Paris twice, stayed both in a posh 5* hotel in Saint-Honoré and in a northern suburb not far from Saint-Denis that is mostly populated by migrants. I definitely saw sex workers and people that looked like smugglers but I must tell you for the 10 days that I walked there after 11 PM I felt pretty much save there to the extent I would refuse to take a bus and would walk wearing mini shorts alone for nearly 4 km. Also I would use my phone all the time in touristic places.
My friend's camera was stolen though.
So I don't know if you say NY is like Paris it's ok. Numbeo stats are pretty much ok in comparison to Paris.
i was born in nyc i nobody tired to do anything to me it’s probably because im a man not a girl idk tho
The safest option is just to never go to NYC. 😏
Wow sounds like self defense weapons and police are useful… who would’ve thought
That’s a funny title from visiting a city go to China. There’s no such thing as feeling unsafe
Are you from Bangladesh?
