NYC all the way.

Pretty much any city on the list, but it also really depends on the neighborhood.

I'm not walking by myself anywhere in rough areas like Brownsville or East New York at night, although I would choose those 2 neighborhoods to walk in at night over "bad" neighborhoods in cities like Philadelphia, New Orleans or Chicago.

Bad neighborhoods in NYC are typically more bustling and diverse than most other similar bad neighborhoods in declining rust belt cities. More people and the NYC vibe is just different. That's just my own take.

Maybe I'm overconfident or naive, but on many visits to Seattle, I've never for a moment felt unsafe.

I'm judging the person who's scared to walk around Seattle.
