    I gave a Prime driver and his student directions out of Hints Point a couple years back, so there are some going in, maybe by choice.

    New York is really more of a boogyman, I have been in worse situations in other cities. As someone else pointed out, Hunts Point is as easy as it gets in NY. Just a matter of taking your time and not getting rattled.

    New York, Chicago, San Francisco, Oakland, Boston, Philadelphia, lots of tough spots in lots of major cities. LA has some real "fun" areas.

    Hard to never hit one.

    I've picked up and delivered in downtown El Paso, TX which is every bit as crowded and screwy as NYC.

    If you can back up, Queens and Brooklyn look just neighbourhoods in Philly or Boston, Chicago or Houston, Toronto or Montreal. I really don't understand the fixation with NYC, since virtually everywhere a truck goes in a big city is a dilapidated crumbling POS.

    New York is at least mapped out in a grid. Not sprawled out in different directions like Boston or Philadelphia.
