I miss the days when I could ride on a train any hour of the night without fear of getting mugged or worse.

That's a shame.  I've been on the subway as early as 6AM and as late as just after Midnight this year.  In Manhattan, Queens, and Brooklyn.  And never felt unsafe.  Nor has my wife.

Not sure which train goes from Coney Island to Canal Street, but definitely more than 30 minutes.  I did notice more masking the closer we got to Manhattan

Fear sells.  Remember the old "If it bleeds, it leads" mantra of TV News?

3,000,000 people ride the NYC subways EVERY DAY.  99.99% of them experience zero harm.

The L,E and A trains have very high rates of crime as the routes go through areas that are not safe.In the area that I resided in I would have to take the L ,E or A to get into Manhattan.I was mugged at knife point and gun point more than once.

Even if your statistic is correct (which I do not concede) that .01% of 3,000,000 means that you are stating that 300 people do experience harm.

Ah, what memories. I hated when the named lines were replaced by letters.

The point is the transit system is INCREDIBLY SAFE.  Safer than driving your car or going to many many other major cities in the US and around the world

Unfortunately you have to live here and watch and read the daily news from various news sources. 

 

Again, unfortunately most of the crime posted is about those ground level. Last night 7 straight stories above ground. And several below ground not just crime that still addresses the SAFE factor. Numbers don't count the incidents not reported. 

 

So sorry for your observation from Boston but "You have to be here to Experience it". It's an EXTREMELY old transit system that they really can't keep up with. Sorry for the straight poop from a New Yorker......

300 people a day (your low,  optimistic statistic) experiencing physical harm does NOT translate to “INCREDIBLY SAFE”.

Why does every Cruise Critic thread do this? There are 58 pages going back over 4 years. Almost all on the theater, occasionally music, and assorted restaurants. Arguments about the statistical safety of MTA are just going to result in arguments!

 

(You can download vehicular data from the NYPD. You really don't want to drive, ride a bike, or be a pedestrian in NYC if 300 a day is a bad number!)

We all know threads go in very different directions and I agree hopefully we will leave the subways and go back to broadway with some restaurants and hotels in the area thrown in . I appreciate all those who have added there thoughts on broadway and glad this thread is still alive .

Back to "Old Broadway"....

 

Our favorite French Restaurant before shows is on French Row called Le Rivage.

 

We have been going there for Decades with wonderful dishes.

 

The family is very cordially from entering inside the Door.

 

One dish my Dad enjoyed Lobster Bisque, I enjoy the Country Pate, French Onion and too many entree's to mention....

Our favorite restaurant is Becco on restaurant row on 46th . We normally go there twice on all visits, they have a special wine list containing about 50 wines and everything on the list is 35 dollars ( when we started going here years ago everything was 25 on the list) there is a past special for 29 and you get a salad and 3 kinds of pasta with free refills. Went one time and we had a very young waitress and we told her there was a problem with our bottle of wine , it evaporated, she was concerned to about a minute then brought us a second bottle.

Le Rivage is our favorite as well.We have been dining there many years.We have dined there more than any other Manhattan restaurant and always received a welcome from the owner if he was there when we dined.
