I’m from the UK and I went to NYC when I was 15 years of age. I heard it was called the city that never sleeps, never fully knew what it meant but I woke up at like 2am in the hotel and thought I’d go down to the reception and get something from the vending machine. I only had pyjama trousers on, no shirt... the lift doors opened up, I walked out and bam, the reception was rammed, people coming in and out and looking. It was so busy! The security guard shouted to me, “boy, get back up there and put yo shirt on!” 😂. Absolutely legged it back up the stairs to the side of the lift

[@fisherman777]

The city that never sleeps... Now you know what it means! Have a great day.😄

New York is fine but don’t wear expensive cloths in some parts of New York cause you will get robbed

[@andrewstaples8677]

@LeonTells0 it's true especially in the hood

@LeonTells0 True especially in the Bronx

[@ricardocampos6517]

Then it's not safe

[@subwaysurfer5378]

Then it's not safe. I don't understand how New York can be safe when there are so many people

[@_nolan_nolan]

I never said New York was safe because you can get robbed in any part of New York but in certain parts of New York like Brooklyn or the Bronx you should avoid making yourself a target because you will have a higher chance than of being robbed or worse.

[@mariaandbryan]

As New Yorkers (lived there for 10 years, and Lieles was born and raised there) we absolutely agree. New Yorkers are actually very nice. But the thing is that as you say we are straight forward with limited time. Everyone is running to their next place whether is work, school or a date and there’s no time to slow down. New York is awesome and it will always stay in our hearts even now that we moved out and are traveling

[@TheTravelingClatt]

Definitely! Could not agree more

[@tiamarrow6366]

I’m from Long Island and I’ve only visited the city maybe 1-8 times in my life, and I can honestly say that even for someone like me who is naturally very cautious of my surroundings, I hardly ever feel scared or unsafe in the city. The only times when I would keep my guard up though, are for events like New Years, Tree Lighting, Thanksgiving Day Parade, and the Pride March which I actually went to this past weekend, but even with that....I didn’t feel very unsafe because there was so much security around the area in general.

[@TheTravelingClatt]

Yeah it honestly feels very safe especially Manhattan

[@tiamarrow6366]

TheTravelingClatt exactly, however the only parts of the five boroughs that I definitely keep my guard up in are some parts of the Bronx, as well as Bedstuy, and Brownsville Brooklyn. My dad was born and raised for a majority of his life in Brownsville back when it was very dangerous, and I will admit that it isn’t as dangerous as it used to be, but like I said, I still keep my guard up no matter what but that’s just me

[@zearcher4633]

As an "European New Yorker" I have to say that it's mostly other Americans that find New Yorkers to be unfriendly. Personally I prefer the NYC way compared to let's say L.A. or California. I love the West Coast, so no East vs. West beef here.

[@TheTravelingClatt]

100% agree

[@JayJayFromAZ]

Very safe. Being a first timer to NYC and wanted a slice of pizza at 1:30 am in Midtown I had no issues. All was coo and some peeps actually asked me if I needed directions. I got my slice and went to room happy. I’m in NYC until Saturday.

Great video! My family and I just returned from spending a week in NYC. We felt safe wherever we went. My daughter was ready to use what she learned in self-defense classes on some creepy dude checking her out. Thankfully, the guy didn’t do anything to her. There were cops hanging out nearby.

[@jaysoto4762]

As a born and raised New Yorker yes gentrification did make certain area safer but it also screwing over us minorities and less than fortunate. Because the more that gentrification happens the more the rent goes up which makes this city so expensive to live in

I almost got mugged late at night walking back from Times Square to my hotel by the Empire State Building. Times Square is the perfect place for criminals to hide in plain sight and pick a tourist and follow. Where it nearly happened was surprisingly dark and with very few people around outside of vagrants. I saw it coming though so dove into a small shop. 100% I was followed and was about to get mugged. It would not have been easy on the two guys trailing me I can tell you that! The best form of defence though is avoidance. I can go into far more detail about what happened if anyone is especially interested. As a Welshman I can say unreservedly that NYC is safer than London or many major UK cities. Get even a little bit off the beaten track in UK cities and you are painting a huge target on your back. Having ostentatious items in view is a massive no no in UK cities. Even in the most public of places where tourists gather there's an element of risk. You're unlikely to face more than a bag/camera snatch but having obvious wealth on displace is a massive no no. Regarding knife crime in UK cities (It's widely talked about). It's basically gang related. They don't really target random civilians for that level of violence. Though if you fight back you could very well get stabbed. I'd say the same to an extent applies to all cities and places where you have visitors on holiday and locals with a lot less apparent wealth. They might even take it as an insult that you are brandishing this wealth and target you because of that alone. The huge number of vloggers in a city like NYC I feel has desensitised people to cameras etc. So the risks are far lower. As fairly affluent people on holiday with our guards down (because we are on holiday and trying to enjoy ourselves). It's easy to become overly confident. This is exactly how I put myself in the difficult situation in NYC. I was at the end of a 2 week holiday with zero issues and my guard was totally down. I'd been walking a lot late at night and taking short cuts and nothing had happened. I'd heard all the media about how incredibly safe a city it was, and I have to say it really is. Does not mean people can forget common sense though!

I was walking the streets at 3 and 4am. I was alone at times. I have never felt unsafe once. The only incident I had, some gangster wannabe black guy stared me down for 10 seconds until I made a "cheers" motion with my pizza slice and then he went on his way, and that was in Times Square.

I agree but I think you've painted a rosy picture. Sorry but 6 years is not that long. Parts of East Harlem are dangerous, Jamaica Queens, and crown heights Brooklyn are rough in my opinion. There is gun violence, don't kid yourself. If you go to a Yankees game, you'll be with a lot of people, but if you go just afew blocks from the stadium, there's some rough areas. NYC is a 24/7 city, it's not perfect but I think I appreciate it more from seeing other cities.

One of the good things about NYC compared to other cities (I'm thinking Philly in particular) is the neighborhoods change gradually, so it's harder to take one wrong turn and end up in a really dangerous area. That being said, I've lived in both New York City and Buenos Aires and the only place I've ever been mugged is a two block radius from my small Long Island suburb's train station, even though the town was voted the safest in the entire state of New York. Even hanging out in Harlem at night, I've only ever been scammed, never intimidated with violence. (the scam relied on me realizing the risky optics of me, a pale ass college kid, giving a hard time to a poor elderly african american man in the middle of Harlem for making me pay for alcohol bottles he dropped, but that's almost laughable compared to the times I've actually had a weapon held up to me)
