Me and my mom are taking a day trip to NYC and i want to go to canal street to get some of their bargain purses. She insists that it s not safe and is too crime ridden for us to go to. Is she right or is canal street perfectly safe?
Canal Street is fine, and perfectly safe. There are usually a lot of people there, which makes it difficult for robbers or other lawless people to commit crimes, out of fear of witnesses. People who commit crimes tend to commit crimes without a lot of people around, because more people is equal to more witnesses. Canal Street is pretty busy, year-round, so do not feel worried. It s perfectly fine.All the best ?
Crime-ridden, not sure, but quite frankly, it definitely has a very seedy feel to it, and I don t very much enjoy walking through there. Mostly because it s ridiculously crowded and you have someone in your face every five seconds trying to sell you something. It is what it is. Secure your valuables.
Canal Street is fine. If you get robbed it will be in on of the shops trying to buy something you know can t be what it appears to be.Eat at Wo Hops. Think Im kidding ? Try it.
Of course it is safe. Don t worry, you ll be fine.Good luck
