Right, like when some guy on the 6 train comes up to you and starts telling you about his batteries he wants to unload, you ignore him. A tourist might get scared like "what's this guy going to do if I say no" or "is this guy a mental patient??" See? So don't assume that any woman would not care at all about walking around in the city at any time even if people in the city do, is all.
.... true... but if you don't get out of your box and actually try to experience things you will never learn. If she is not confident enough to figure this out maybe she does not deserve to go. If I want something I go after it. If she wanted to go bad enough she would have already figured this out herself. Or maybe she already has and he just thinks she is looking for his help ! If go to a lot of concerns you should understand the good ones sell out fast. So if are lucky enough to get in .... get there and enjoy it! YOLO!
Dang. I thought this was going to be about putting your wife in a Fedex box because she didn't like to drive to see concerts.
What a disappointment! I assume she'd have to go same-day delivery and she'd be expensive to ship due to the weight. Maybe put her on a diet plan first? You could make sure she arrives before 5pm though, right? "Honey, you are really way too expensive at your current weight. If you just lose 2lbs, we can get you down into that next lower weight class for express delivery. Plus, you would look so much better in that box shape as it is much slimmer."
i assume op is in the army overseas and cant go with her.
isnt n.y.c. one of the least violent crime cities in the country ?
as far as traffic, just wait for the light to turn green then follow the flow of traffic (try not to gridlock). n.y.c. has the 3rd highest traffic congestion in the country so its a minor inconvenience to be stuck in a heated comfortable seat for an extra hour.
whats the concern ?; are you afraid single men will hit on her ?

I live in a major city too and don't get the fear about cities some people have. In my opinion someone is less likely to try and harm you in a very public or population dense place then in an isolated place. If someone does attack or rob you ... if you are in a city there is a higher chance someone it going to see what is happening step in or call the police... if you are in the middle of no where not as likely that someone will see what is happening and be able to offer help. If someone if following you or making you feel unfortable.. just walk in to a store/shop and someone will see and they will usually back or someone else will step in. If you are in a place where everying is closed... it is pretty much fight or flight.
If you are a woman walking alone at night in a major city the key is walking in areas that have lots of foot and car traffic ( ex don't cut through parks, alley ways or areas where there is not a lot of traffic.
according to fbi uniform crime statistics there have been more reported violent and property crimes in rural areas than in hud localities starting in 2013.
Not clear on what you mean on send her? Does SHE want to go or not.
I am female I have gone from Toronto to Manhattan for concerts several times all by myself and it was a BLAST! I would do it again in a heart beat. FYI that is like a 12-13 trip ( It is 9 hours straight ... but not really likely anyone could go stright without stopping). I literally left a concert in Toronto, got on a Mega Bus and took and over night ride to Manhattan to go to another concert the next day. Get time. Easy relaxing ride. 4.5 hours driving does not seem like a big deal to me... by why drive. There are other options. Driving in Manhattan in my opinion as a visitor is not pratical. Take the train or a bus... get off and on with no hassel. No worry about parking. The concerts I went to finished 12 or 1 am and I walked back to my hotel alone around 20 to 30 minutes alone. No one bugged me. There were lost of people on the streets and traffic at that time. If she wants to go ... then not sure what the big deal is?
If she wants a worry free time leave a bit early and take the bus or train ( not sure where you are she is coming from).
I love going to concerts!!!! This is my activity of choice and go to several and month during most of the year, but up to 1-2 a week in the summer months. I use to try and go with someone else... but I often it was too much of a hassell and I choose to go alone. Ex I got a front row or lower level ticket and I could only grab the one I am there.
In the last few montsh alone I have seen artists like...
Daddy Yankee (NYC at MSG)
Don Omar (NYC at MSG)
Adele
Sia
Mumford and Sons
Smashing Pumpkins
Paul Simone
Steven Tyler
Cat Stevens
Lila Downs ( in Mexico ... )
These are just a the ones I can remeber!!!! The joy of going solo for me is that I can stay as late as I want!!!
Good luck.
What concert venue/ concert is it?
Mariah Carey
