"and I doubt that this uptick is happening in areas where your friends are likely to go in the first place."
I think, as I said elsewhere, that the original post expressed a somewhat foolish worry, but there are many restaurants along Ninth Avenue that theatregoing tourists frequented, and that area has definitely been seeing an upturn in crime that has area residents concerned. I've fortunately not experienced anything myself, but quite enough has been reported, enough so that (as I mentioned elsewhere) local community activists recently met with police to express their concerns. |
