when i lived in NYC, i have been robbed a few times, once at a knife point on the street midday, once on a subway (who knows what that guy had, nobody wanted to find out) - also midday, once a bag was ripped off my shoulder also in broad daylight, and once a guy tried to rape me after a cab drive - a successful kick in the face with my trusted docmartins saved at least my honor at the moment. so teach your girl that it is not only nighttime that one has to be alert on.

She won't be in NYC for her studies but she'll be closer to the City and plans to visit. I'll point to your comment, thank you.
