Its okay, but I think the areas around zip codes 11212 or 10029 is a lot better/safer if you want to wave cash around at 3am or have your kids play in the street all night. You should consider those areas instead.

I used to work at 152 Madison. It's pretty much a business area. You have Korean town nearby. It's a safe area.
Can my 2 and 3 year old children play on the street at 4AM without me present? Uh, what? 179 Madison is not really a family oriented area. It's a business area. You will have to walk a few blocks to a playground. https://www.google.com/maps/place/17...eeb8df!6m1!1e1
I just booked an apartment online via Airbnb.com right here. to Already signed the lease so its not an option. So are you just renting a vacation apt or did you sign a lease??

That was all joking. In reality I have terrible insomnia so I am going to be walking around in the middle of the night. Is there 24 hour stuff around this area?
I rented someones apartment for 5 months.
What matters most for me is that I can walk around at 2-5AM without fearing I am going to be robbed. Its a huge plus if there is stuff to do at that time and if anything is open.
Yes, it's safe. Obviously there's always a chance of something happening, but I wouldn't worry about it too much. Just be aware. As far as stuff to do, not sure, but you have a subway right nearby and cabs all over, 24/7 (there's an area very popular with cab drivers a few blocks away where they always stop to get Indian food -- I think it's on 33rd and Lex but I could be wrong on the intersection) so even if the place you want to go is a little further away, you can get around very easily at all hours.
Safe area but I don't think there's a lot going on in the middle of the night since the area is mostly commercial buildings. If you walk to Third Ave and go south a couple of blocks there's plenty of bars and whatnot.
That's K-town/Herald Sq/Penn Station. Good for work, transportation, and mostly safe. Has Korean places that open late into the night. Non-Korean businesses will be closed then. Korean places are somewhat pricey, but it's all relative I guess. You might have intoxicated people coming out of bars, restaurants, and karaoke, but nothing really too bad. Next time, it would be a good idea to check a place out before committing to living there for 5 months.
