I don't live in NYC but travel there often enough. I can tell you that Midtown East is very safe. In fact the majority of Manhattan is safe with the exception of some parts of Harlem and and the Lower East side. I found this website
http://gis.nyc.gov/ops/mmr/address.jsp?app=MMR that provides statistics on the neighborhoods. Type in the address your interested in, select the borough, do the search, and then select the tab for public safety. The numbers may look large but compare the numbers to the whole city to get a better picture of the area.
I suggest you spend some time in the city (at-least a week or so), walk around the neighborhoods, take the subway, do all the things you would normally do if you lived there to make sure you like it. Visit the area at various times (daytime, nighttime, 11pm, 3am) to see what kind of people are around.
Have fun and enjoy!
