New York City is pretty safe for tourists, so you’re unlikely to encounter any major crime—unless, of course, you take a New York City crime tour. The Big Apple has a long, interesting, and sometimes sordid past, which is fun to learn about on walking tours of some of the most historical neighborhoods. Listen to stories of colonial-era crimes, mafia mobsters during Prohibition, scandals in Central Park, and more. Spooky ghost tours are a fun option, too, especially around Halloween.
