Safety

How safe is your area for a female to walk around alone at night, including the subway station? I am assuming there is no problem during the day.

You should not run into any safety issues in the neighborhood.Bernadette is a 60 year old woman and she’s never had a problem,day or night.
This does not mean however that you should be negligent.This is a huge city and crime is part of the urban standard.It has been greatly reduced due to a better economy.But nothing to do with Guiliani and his Broken Glass theory.
Care should always be taken wherever you are.Keep you ears and eyes open.If you run into a problem and you get held up,pull some money from your pocket,throw it on the ground and run.
