Gathered in New York? Then be sure to check out the areas that are not suitable for tourist walks.
Although life does not stand still, and new technologies are emerging, the crime rate in America remains high. Millions of people all over the world dream of visiting New York, but it is worthwhile to plan your route in advance to avoid getting into dangerous areas.
1. Brownsville - you can catch a bullet here even in the daytime.
Brownsville is one of the most dangerous areas of Brooklyn, which is also called East New York, as it is in the eastern part. Here shots from firearms can be heard at any time and there are a lot of state subsidized housing, which is received by unfavorable families who are not used to work, even for their own good. By the way, among the inhabitants of Brausville the following proverb is common: "If a person is 25 years old, he is either a corpse, or in prison, or is a member of a gang". Another interesting point is that a large percentage of the Russian-speaking population lives in this area, which attracts affordable housing.
2. The area of the station "Jamaica" - streets, on which it is better not to walk.
For evening walks, some areas located near the John F. Kennedy International Airport are not intended. Many Russian-speaking New Yorkers strongly advise: if you boarded a train from the airport and drove to Jamaica station, you do not have to go out on the metro or another train to the center, because you can meet with dangerous personalities there.
3. Manhattan is not as beautiful as it seems.
The most popular area for tourists includes many attractions, but it is important not to look around and not to rise above 95 streets, as this is an area called "Harlem". Although it no longer has a clear predominance of the black population, it is still considered the center of African Americans. A few years ago, about 70% of New York drug addicts lived in this area, but the city administration implements a special policy to remedy the situation, and the first results are already visible. If you have a wallet and health, then alone in the dark at night in the streets of Harlem still should not go.
4. Coney Island - no evening walks.
The famous peninsula, located in Brooklyn - Coney Island, can not be called the most suitable place for hiking and, especially, after sunset. Suspicions of insufficient security are caused by a huge fence with barbed wire, enclosing a rich street located in the center of the peninsula. There are also familiar subsidized high-rise buildings that attract the disadvantaged part of the population.
5. Bronx - the concentration of the poor.
Next to the rich and popular Manhattan is the Bronx, which is considered the most dangerous and poor area of New York, where it is very easy to become the target of an attack. In the afternoon there is much to see on the streets, for example, there is the best zoo in the city, but at night there are separate walks under the ban.
6. South Queens - the name of the royal, and the conditions do not match.
When planning a route through New York, it is recommended that you traverse the South Queens in red so that you do not wander there. Here you can encounter drug addicts, thieves, gangs and just aggressive people.
7. Central Park - walk only during the day.
The most popular holiday destination is not only residents of New York, but also tourists - Central Park. It is very nice and cozy, but only not in the dark time of the day (this applies to non-main alleys). This is explained by the fact that many homeless people are looking for their accommodation in the park, and aggressively minded individuals are not uncommon.
