What neighborhoods do you guys think are the cleanest? As in the streets are kept clean, subways relatively clean, etc.

the cleanest neighborhoods in new york city usually tend to have little to no commercial presence. there are neighborhoods in queens, brooklyn, the bronx and staten island that fit this criteria.

Manhattan below 96th street excluding the projects.
Also, residential areas in the outer boroughs.

Neighborhoods around Park Ave, and the UES(non-commercial streets) seem the cleanest to me in Manhattan. Riverdale in the Bronx, the far residential neighborhoods in Queens, not sure about Staten, and Park Slope(non-commericial) in BK.

Do you wish to revise your statement?

I hope you know where Canal street is. In fact, the whole Chinatown is not clean. On the contrary, east 97th street is quite clean.

The vast majority of Manhattan below 96th is very clean, if one street is an exception it doesn't make a difference. However,Manhattan above 96th is largely a slum, just walk on 110th,116th,125th,128th,129th,135th,145th,180th,et c it is very dirty for the most part. Chinatown is one neighborhood which is pretty small.
Sure 97th by the park is pretty nice but travel 3 blocks into East Harlem and I doubt its the same story.

you really think so? the financial district and 34th street are both littered with garbage until sanitation comes. also in tribeca where i work, its like nobody picks up after their dogs.

Im talking in terms of crime mostly.
Trash does not define a neighborhood as much as actual illegal activity. I'm assuming thats what the OP meant?
I would imagine those areas are littered due to how many people walk around there.

I'm talking about trash not crime. I'm talking how clean are the sidewalks and subways.

Then parts of Manhattan still win.
Not all of em. The Upper East and West Sides are very clean.
Plus residential areas in the outer boroughs.
Most subways are clean. Some of them have some trash, but usually not much.
