Is it really, now? Last time I went through it, more than thirty years ago, it was in pretty bad shape.Traffic is awful in Midtown and parking is outrageous. But New York is a great city.
Manhattan is safe. I've never once felt threatened there.
Harlem too, is nice.
They've cleaned it up pretty good now. Yeah, there are a few spots that are still pretty nasty, but overall it is pretty nice now. Kind of a hidden gem. Give them a few more years and it will be really nice.
