NYC Safety - Hell's Kitchen (37 & 10th ave)
Hello!
To those who live in the NYC, I would appreciate some input on the safety in the lower Hell's Kitchen area. I will be interning in the city over the summer and likely subletting a place near 37th st and 10th ave.
Basically, is the area safe, especially in the evening? I'm usually a fairly alert pedestrian, but I've heard that the 9th/10th ave area can start to get sketchy.
Thank you!
You should be fine, but it's not a pleasant area. There's nothing to do around there and it's very deserted and depressing at night. You should really consider living somewhere else as it will significantly improve your view of the city.
Anything below Spanish Harlem is safe, anything below 96th street is nice, and anything below 59th street is some high class shit. I never understood this "safety" issue.
Disclosure: I'm from the Bronx.
yeah i dont even consider that hells kitchen lol 44+ on 9th = win
Yeah, if you're a gay 24-year-old guy.
I haven't posted in almost 5 months, but your post just provoked me way too much. Safety? What? I can't even. I just can't
you will likely get raped and pillaged. make sure you carry a glock and knife at the very least. As long as you're proficient at knife fights, you should be fine.
This isn't 1980's Manhattan, kid.
For reference, Milwaukee, Wisconsin has more than double the murder rate of NYC. Even the 'dangerous' places in Manhattan aren't that bad and are definitely not as bad as your grandma has been telling you. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_cities_by_crime_rate
IT'S FUCKING NYC IT'S NOT SUPPOSED TO BE 'SAFE'
Totally kidding.
That area's a little boring but you're within walking distance of pretty much anything you want and yes, it's safe, the Westies arent' shooting the place up anymore.
Thanks everyone for the input! I just heard that the 10th+ avenue area can be sketchy, but this is reassuring.
