How safe is it to walk the streets of Manhattan at night?

Question

What's the latest someone can stay out and still be relatively safe?

Answer 1

In Manhattan, south of ~112 street, you can walk around at any time, the city is very safe. Obviously, don't be careless or flash money around, but you'll be fine. There are a few bad blocks here and there, like around Tompkins Square park late at night or around 14th street and the West Side Highway, but, overall, Manhattan is very safe, you can walk around anytime day or night. I've even fallen asleep on subway late an night coming back from Brooklyn to Manhattan and have never had a problem.

Answer 2

I actually feel safer in Manhattan than any other place late at night. I was shocked the first time I saw the streets of the West Village overflowing with people at 1am, just like it was daytime, maybe even more so!



Midtown will be more deserted, but you're still safe as long as you steer clear of obvious dangers

Answer 3

wooh... it's really safe, especially on the weekends! my friend & i walked from times square (42nd street) to chelsea (20th street) @ 3am, and there are tourists/ locals all over!

Answer 4

Perfectly safe... if you're made of kevlar.

Answer 5
