Hello, /trv/

I'm a 24 year old single male and I'll be going on vacation to New York City for about a week next month.

I'm getting an airbnb in the University Heights section, on West 183rd street, is this a good area?

I have a general idea of what I want to do (go to meseums, parks, eat, experience nightlife, etc.), but I would like some recommendations as well as miscellaneous pointers.

Any restaurants or bars in particular that you really like? This is a bit of a long shit, but it would be awesome if I could get laid. I'm not counting on it, of course.

It's an OK neighborhood. The big minus is that it's next to George Washington Bridge that connects NYC and New Jersey. Lots of people from NJ cross the bridge to come to this neighborhood to buy illegal drugs. Consequently, there's more drug-related violence than average. On the plus side, it's easy to take the subway to some more interesting parts of the city, and you'll probably only spend time there sleeping.

According to google maps, you're wrong about it being next to the George Washington Bridge. My airbnb is in The Bronx, not Manhattan.

>tl;dr your host is happier about this than you will be - milk the 4/5 trains and D train for all it's worth (avoid 6 and B)
You're in the the Bronx new Fordham University. While there will be cultural and historical apologists, the Bronx is the poorest, dirtiest and most crime ridden of NYC's 5 Boroughs. For reasons of mass migration and 200 years of NYC history you are advised to do nothing but sleep at your apartment. Avoid the Bronx generally. The zoo has excellent conservation programs but the facilities are dirty and seeing the "cool" animals require supplementary tickets. The biggest attraction in the Bronx is the Yankees.

Based on the proximity to subway lines you can hit the tourist shit in Manhattan down to approximately 14th street with some level of convenience. If you want New York the theme park you'll be fine, but if you want New York as lived by New Yorkers you dun goofed.

How do you get that?,not op btw

>>1228597
what are you talking about?

Sure the Bronx is dirty but it's really not that dangerous, if it were its own city it wouldn't be considered particularly dangerous.

Those lines all go to Lower Manhattan, which is the center of NYC nightlife.

1228597 again. Coming into Manhattan from Brooklyn in Queens will always be better for tourists. Look at the subway map. It's not like you're going to get your wallet and kidney stolen in the Bronx, it just has grinding, soul-sucking poverty and is further from anything you'd want to see.

Despite The Bronx being poor, rents are still pretty high there (even if cheaper than other boroughs)

Oh and if I can get a Puerto Rican chick to sit on my face I'll be sooo happy
