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...
Take care,
Paul

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.

Yes, but in at least most of those locations, my Florida or Utah CCW is
valid.
