Hi everyone.
I'm new to New York, and I almost got jumped by 3 hobbit looking characters and their two dogs because I wouldn't give them some of my food. They got real close, but someone stepped up and got in their way. One of their dogs licked me.
Is there an area in Manhattan that completely avoids homeless/crazy people? I am willing to pay up to $2200 a month to get away from this once and for all.

Run forrest run!!!!
If a bum asks you for actual food and you are holding it, just fucking give it to them dude. I know you stood in line for an hour for that cronut, but get over it.
bump. still looking for an area to live. Union Square is inhospitable
Fairfield County. You will never get harassed by a homeless person in Greenwich or Darien. Crazy people, yes, but Stepford Wives crazy, and they won't take your food.
Its funny because Union Square is a really expensive area to live in but its always full of outsiders (and hot girls)
It's been awhile since I lived in Manhattan, but haven't noticed any crowding of bums/degenerates (like maybe the odd one or two, but typically they are in transit and not staying in the area) in UES and UWS.
Look more intimidating. Have a snarl on your face. carry yourself as though you work in Hunts Point vs Wall Street. Clench your briefcase harder. Look straight ahead. Have that swagger about you and no bum will ever mess with you.
This x1000. If someone really had the nerve to screw with you like that, they really must have thought you were a pussy. Can't have that swag about you man; you need to walk like you're on edge and one wrong move will get someone's wig split.
Union Square is fine dude. Don't be a pussy is probably the answer.
Lol son how sweet are people now days if they have a tough time living in union square.
what stupidity!
First world problems brah ... I live in Sub-Saharan Africa, was followed into the super-market and forced to buy cereal and milk for a whole family two days ago. No lie. :(
Gotta be the most funniest thing i read all day, hope your ok.
To OP I think you need to go the the gym and lift some weights and change the way you carry yourself. changing areas not gonna change how people view you.
Seriously? I lived in Union Square for a year when I was 19, and go there frequently - it's one of the safest, most well-lit areas I've ever been to, with an extremely dense police presence since its a tourist area. If you're getting harassed there, something is wrong with you.
Yeah, Union Square is a great area!
op needs to go on tinder more is all
I know your type OP. You're one of those nervous people who'd change carriages on the subway because there's a homeless person in yours. If you think Union Square is 'inhospitable' I'd suggest moving to Iowa.
No, there is not a single area that avoids crazy or homeless people. Welcome to NYC. Be happy this isn't the 70's as that situation would have likely ended much differently.

I'd also really recommend a busy thoroughfare like 32nd St near Penn Station. Not a homeless person in sight.
3 midgets and two dogs targeted you? This sounds like a personal issue.
I'm curious: what kind of food did you have?
@"TheStig", Hobbits, not midgets. He should have just summoned Gandolph to bring him back to the Shire.
LOL...he probably got lured by a hipster named Gollum who kept rubbing his fixed gear bike and mumbling 'my precious' over and over
