I just left NYC a week ago from today. I was there from December 9th-12th. I went for my 22nd bday. I had a blast and I even went by myself. I stayed about 4 blocks from Times Square. I stayed out til 2am walking around by myself and never once felt scared.
Whoever said that New Yorkers are rude must be really sensitive people because no one was ever rude to me. A lot of people smiled and smiled and said hello.
I fell in love with the city. I didn't really spend that much time in Times Square because that had a lot of tourists.
So anyone who is scared to travel alone in NYC don't be I walked everywhere and took the subway and never had any problems or was worried.
Thanks for your realization that New Yorkers, overall, aren't rude. We won't waste time with endless chitchat, but if you need help or directions, we're pretty good-natured about it.
Nobody who lives in Manhattan goes to the Times Square area, ever. It is funny how people who come to Manhattan to see the city congregate in the only place in the city, Times Square, where all the people are tourists. LOL
Not true. I live in Manhattan and occasionally go to Times Square to go to the movies as it is an easy and central place to meet friends from all over.

I generally agree that most people who live in the city avoid the area like the plague, but some of us can't avoid it because we work a block or two away.
I figured it was a place for tourist so I went there when I saw Lion King and then the rockets. I walked from statue of liberty back up to Times Square so I could actually see the city.

Um... I live in Manhattan and go to Times Square occasionally and I know for a fact that I'm not the only NYer to do so. I hate when people say things like that, of course you're going to see a lot of tourists there because that's one of the biggest attractions in the city and people want to experience it!
not trying to be mean, but you were in times square ofcourse it's safe there. that place is usually overflowing with cops and security cameras so no one is stupid enough to try something down there.
why don't you try going to certain places in the bronx or brooklyn and then we can discuss how "safe" nyc is lol.

What are you talking about? As far as petty crime, Times Square is probably one of the most dangerous places—think about all the naïve tourists just volunteering themselves to be pick pocketed.
