It really depends on the area, and how use to an envirorment like this are you? I mean Brooklyn has the parts that you should drive in a taxis all day then it has the parts where thats not needed. For Example you are goin to be staying in i'm guessin an appartment in Bed-stuy, Bed-stuy is bad, some blocks and streets worse then others. I mean if your gunna be in Bed-stuy the whole time mabe a cab everywhere, but for example downtown brooklyn that wouldn't be needed. Do you know any areas other then bed-stuy that you'll be goin to in Brooklyn? |

I'll be traveling in to the main parts of NYC each day (Times Square, etc). My only experience in Bed-Stuy would be in the house. |

Oh ok, well Times Square is completely safe! I mean foot traffic is crazy and what not, i mean be aware of your surroundings still cuz anything can still happen, but its way safer then bed-stuy. If your going to be coming back to Bed-stuy at night please take a cab. |

Oh yes, been to Times Square before, felt very safe there... which is why I am a little nervous about coming back to Bed-Stuy after reading about it. Agreed to stay without knowing the full story, now kind of wishing I had just booked a hotel. |

It happens, but not on a frequent basis. If you are used to traveling around low income areas then you won't have a problem. |
