Don’t be too hard on the guy. The iHop in Harlem gets 4.5/5 stars on Tripadvisor!

Yes, it has. Harlem has many gorgeous homes that have been rehabbed over the years - rich whites and blacks moved in.

My take on how tourists like this go wrong is that they don’t pass the maniac by who panhandles them (or harasses them). Tourists tend to engage with these maniacs and the result is not pretty.

From NY Post “On Oct. 20 last year, he rang his neighbor’s doorbell and punched the woman in the face and kicked her several times, the sources said. Four months earlier in June, he went into a deli on West 135th Street and slashed a deli worker in the neck, police sources said.” No bail this time. Freebies ran out.

What?! After only three assaults (two of them aggrevated)?! What is the world coming to? Where's the compassion?

Regards,

I worked in those triple digit numbered streets in NYC in the 1970s, on two different jobs/occasions. I never had a single problem, not even when leaving the office very late at night and forgetting (remembering incorrectly) which street I had parked my car on that morning.

1. Many neighborhoods in NYC in Brooklyn and the Bronx were worse from crime than Harlem.

2. Most violent crime was drug related and carried out between those dealing with drugs.

3. Random attacks by some crazy individual were not particular to or most frequent to Harlem than elsewhere.

DeBlasio will have him out on bail by the end of the day.

Harlem isn’t as bad as it was in the 70s and 80s, but still there is NO reason to go to 132nd St.

I think Europeans hear “Harlem” and think its some sort of cultural Wakanda.

I always identify dangerous local areas in my Trip-advisor reviews—I may have saved many lives of distant strangers (tourists) over the years.

I get to NYC all the time for work but it is rare I leave midtown area and I don’t go out at night past about 8:30pm...occasionally finishing dinner about 9.

I just watched a Thomas Sowell interview from the Hoover Institution where he talks about being a boy living in Harlem, getting up at 3:00 AM to to go outside and visiting with a little old white guy who ran a stand selling newspapers and magazines.

He opined that if he did that today, the sanity of both him as a black man and that of the little old white guy would be questioned.

Basically, things were far safer for both blacks and whites back in the Forties in places like Harlem.

Bascou excitedly tracked his progress with Instagram posts saying 'Harlem baby!!!' as he flew from Paris to New York to take his girlfriend on a surprise Valentine's date

Obviously he knew nothing and did not care to research about where he was headed. Fail on so many levels.
