The crime part is hardly true.. there are a ton of good areas here just as there are bad areas, like anywhere. But otherwise yeah, Manhattan has a ton of hot dog/food stands, areas like Little China and the like, etc. Very fast-paced too. I don't live in Manhattan though, that's the only part of NYC that's actually a bustling city aha. The other boroughs are all "normal" places with houses, cars, and more space o;
