That’s more a NYC thing, I’m on long island, but I’ve been to the city many times and I wouldn’t say the homeless are everywhere, but they also aren’t entirely rare. The mugging stuff might happen depending on where you are and what time it is, but you’d have to really go off track from where you intended on being quite a bit to end up in those areas.

I won’t pretend I’m an NYC expert or anything, but I do believe harlem has changed a lot from what the stereotypical idea of that area once was. I couldn’t say for sure so don’t place your safety in this Internet strangers hands lol
