You must be from that fantasy part of NYC where the cops actually give a damn.
And to answer in general, I ride EVERYWHERE in NYC. There is no place that is unsafe to ride, except for the traffic. I ride from Brooklyn to The Bronx to Queens and Manhattan. All neighborhoods uptown, downtown, east side west side. That includes the notorious south Bronx. I never give it a thought. Don't listen to the exaggerated reports on the news.
During the BLM protests in NYC we got a call from some relatives in Texas asking if we were safe. My wife's responses was "what the hell are you talking about?" as we drank wine on our porch.
