It should be fine. NYC is mega safe in terms of US cities. It's been gentrified to heck, especially if you stay in the classic tourist trap areas filled with cops and surveillance.
Cool, gritty NYC is dead.
I'm a long-time resident btw. I miss the edge. It's basically a suburb these days with all the chain garbage around. We even have Chick Fil-A's now.
Also, NYC is largely insulated for Trump's distinguished mentally-challenged fellowation. We can't stand him and knew he was a fraud for decades before he got involved in politics. State and local politics are complete opposite his agenda.
