I lived in NYC pre covid. I don't know what it's like currently but if she's in Manhattan itself (rather than the boroughs) she should be fine. The subway was already getting pretty bad by the time I left but as long as she doesn't make eye contact with anyone (no joke) and is careful about what carriage she gets into it should be alright. If she's in Manhattan she can walk to a lot of places and that's what I would advise. If she's in a borough, there are some OK areas but transportation is annoying. If you find out where she's staying (borough or what part of Manhattan) I can advise further. I lived in Manhattan and every borough except the Bronx duding my time in the city.
