I spend far too much of my time on the subway every day - the courthouse is on Grand Concourse (aka ghettotown), and the office (which I only have to go to at the end of the day) is near Fordham Road (I think 4 stops from the terminus of the 4 train)! Being on the Fordham Road bus after dark is a unique experience.

I'm from the city... but from Forest Hills, not the dicey parts of town...

Seriously, I've never been to NYC. Could you locals give me an assessment of the Burroughs(is that the correct distinction?). How many are there(I mean, we all know Bronx, Queens, Long Island, Harlem, Manhattan, etc....)?
Maybe a breakdown, from the best(least likely to get mugged/nicer people), to where getting murdered/raped/robbed is pretty likely.
I'm not trying to be funny, at all, I just found the above distinctions, to be intriguing....
