How safe is NYC at the moment?
Serious question
Been watching a lot of stuff in the media about the current situation in NYC with the recent influx of asylum seekers and a crime wave plaguing the city.
I will be traveling to the Big Apple with the family for the first time in over 2 decades (the first time for the wife and kids).
So, am I crazy for doing this or is the media blowing things out of proportion?
New Yorkers please respond and chime me in on the current situation, tips and what parts to stay away from. I will be staying in Times Square and will probably mostly be exploring both midtown and lower Manhattan.
Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
