A lot of it is common sense - New York is a GREAT city .. no question and very safe overall. But common sense will tell you not to take a leisure walk through Harlem at 3AM .. having said that, I've walked through Central Park (65th St.) at various times of the night and never had a problem, but then again that's different too...
Travel in herds and mind your own business - don't travel at 3AM (on foot) and you'll be fine..;) That really goes for any city when you think about it...

This is not a controversial statement. While I generally agree with what Rod is saying, saying "NYC is safe" is like saying "all routers are cisco" There are safe areas, and there are not safe areas. I don't know how the Brooklyn side of the Brooklyn bridge rates, but I don't think I'd be overly concerned. And, since people going to NANOG tend to have a herding instinct, there shouldn't be a problem. > New York has a lower incidence of crime than Miami, Detroit, Seattle, > Los Vegas, Houston, Atlanta, DC, Los Angeles, and Philadelphia. Yes, but in at least most of those locations, my Florida or Utah CCW is valid. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- "The information transmitted is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and contains confidential and/or privileged material.
