I would vote worst to streets like Pennsylvania Ave in East NY and 149th st and Third Ave in the Bronx.

Chinatown/ LES has some dirty ass streets. People need to stop littering and turning the entire neighborhood to ****. Harlem also has some dirty streets too. I'd have to say Tribecca, Battery Park City, and the Villages have the best streets in Manhattan.

actually i have done that walk quite a few times in my lifetime. its pretty isolated if you ask me. new lots on the other hand from penn all the way to fountain can be quite an adventure.

I concur on the VCV comment, as well as the Gun Hill Rd comment. It never ceases to amaze me how in the Bronx, you can be in one of the finest neighborhoods in the city, and border an absolute hellhole.

The place where I probably felt most unsafe was when I went to visit a friend who lives on the 170st Washington ave projects.....that's a scary place. Do they have a name?

There are a ton of PJ's in that area. Depending on what side of the street you stand you are in Morris I or II.

Here is a shot of the adjacent Butler PJ's.



I have walked through too many intimidating blocks to name a worst. Bad is bad.

Worst streets I have walked, and I rather not get lost, were in some streets in parts of Bushwick, Brownsville and East New York. All of them are in Brooklyn. I don't mind most of the sreets in the poor areas of the Bronx, even along some housing projects. Well that is just me. Except walking along the housing projects in Soundview. They can be scary actually.
