4. Safety isn't much of a concern, if that's what your worried about.

'Course some ( most) areas are safer than others.

Much of BKLYN.... esp the areas near Manhattan.... have long been gentrified, youthifized and upscaled.

That said.... it's a big city .... so keep an eye out. And try not to "look like a tourist". Unless you're in an explicitly touristy area. ( Lower Manhattan, Times Square, etc. )

Enjoy. Come to the Bx. ( America's Borough) if you have a chance. I'll show you around.
