Also I wear headphones 100% of the time when I'm outside and I"ve never had problems (well, not yet), because I also look like I'm paying attention to what's going on around me... that's all you really need. Don't look insecure
I agree, not everyone's comfort is the same and there's nothing wrong with asking what the area is like. But ultimately you have to see for yourself

how is the area at night? working around 184th and amsterdam, leaving around 11pm to go home via train?

Are you working at Yeshiva?

11pm is night time so just be vigilant. What train are you taking?

I've lived in Europe. You think I had a friggin' forum to tell me what rough areas to avoid? No... I used common sense! I've been to Naples in the hood... I was just fine and there's the camorra there and definitely some parts you want to avoid.
Thankfully, the people in Washington Heights are nicer than you are.

If you don't want to help the OP with his question then grow a pair and go to another forum. There's no excuse for rudeness.
