Crossing Central Park between ~93-97th Streets after dark?
Hi, I’m moving into NYC soon and hope to end up on the UWS, but my roommates and I are also considering the UES. We would want to take part in community on the UWS and would therefore cross over by-foot on Friday nights (prob no later than 10pm to be safe, but maybe 11) to and from each side if we were to end up on the UES, in the area between the above mentioned streets.
I’ve seen various posts saying it’s fine if the paths are lit and you’re vigilant; others saying they’ve lived in NYC their whole life and they’d never enter the parks after sundown.
It seems like a poor idea, but maybe it’s not as bad as one would think. Would this be a recipe for danger?
Anyone have experience with this exactly?
Thank you!
Edit: emphasis on by-foot on a Friday night, iykyk! If taking the bus was an option I wouldn’t be asking this for fun :)
