Stick to lower Manhattan and cab it when possible. Don't go to the Bronx or Queens. Brooklyn should be okay also but few tourists there so gets sketchy. The locals will fuck with you if they can tell you're lost/nervous. Really in NYC, just stick to yourself and mind your own business and you're generally fine. The shit doesn't usually go down in lower Manhattan because there's a higher police presence there for the tourists; even at night.
