Some crosswalks in Manhattan are actually really dangerous. There are a few where the drivers will speed up and honk like crazy and try to run down pedestrians who HAVE A WALK LIGHT. The one I am thinking of is on 41st and Dyer. I'm sure there are others.
east harlem isnt dangerous??? im sure a crime map , and spotcrimes itself will debunk this statement. normally every week their is 1 or more shootings in east harlem accoring to gothamist and the area isnt dangerous??? i dont think you are from new york city.
45 yrs nyc rezzy...and know people who lived there and who still do and will tell you...YOU LOOK FOR TROUBLE YOU WILL FIND IT...same with any area of NYC.
Crime on Park AVE..Upper East Side...SOHO...does that make it a BAD area...NO!
Please remember to stay on-topic, and answer the OP's question. Some people are not as familiar with the complexities of an urban environment such as New York, hence the questions regarding safety. This is not a thread for discussions of specific crimes, either, as there is a specific thread for that. Thank you.

lies once again. anyone who reads the newspaper everyday like me will know this is a huge lie , as a matter of fact i just saw an article on a teenager killed by mistaken by a stray im pretty sure she would agree with you if she were alive again
No! Your the liar! People are NOT FLOCKING TO Harlem buying VERY expensive Town Houses and Condos because IT"S NOT SAFE!
If you staying in the Lower East, why would you visit East Harlem or Inwood?
Overall, you will not be a victim of crime. And if you are, chances are you were involved in illegal activity which exposed you to danger. Just be aware of your environment like you would anywhere in NYC, and in ANY major city in the world.
My God! Dude go back to where you came from. I am sure where ever you came from, crime is higher there. Manhattan is one of the safest areas in the country. Moderator cut: Rude

Yesterday I almost got jumped on Amsterdam ave, so don't give me that safe crap.
It's like this:
Bronx hoods = Manhattan hoods=Brooklyn hoods=Queens hoods=Staten Island hoods
Why?
Um well because it's the same people...covered by the same police force...same poverty (due to cost of living) ....
But alot of you people believe once you step foot into the beautiful island of Manhattan....no wrong can happen...you are now in Utopia....enjoy fellas n dames
