Tourists and Perceptions of Safety: This Week's Insights From Everything To Do Facebook Group

Looking for on-the-round reporting about the city? Everything To Do NYC Facebook Group brings together over 41,000 city superfans sharing what they're experiencing around town. As the city comes back we are seeing increased interaction in the group. There is naturally a lot of concern among visitors about crime in New York City—and a lot of reassurances coming from locals that those worries are overblown. A Sunday post about safety received 215 comments. A safety question about Times Square was good for another 150 comments. A request for whether or not Coney Island was worth it also touched on safety, but picked up tons of good suggestions among the 105 comments. ETD provides a great forum to market your venue, and to get a read on what tourists and locals are thinking. If you're not a member yet, join us.
