Re #4 - yes it is safe. I would take Grand Street all the way east from Little Italy to the L.E.S. Great street! From Lafayette going east, good stretch for cheap Chinese noodles and bubble tea and Asian snacks, Italian gelato, Kossar%26#39;s bialys.

People who post trip reports about the Tenement Museum always say they are glad they went. What%26#39;s your interest?

Here is a good link for Streetwise Survival Strategies - good for travel anywhere in the world, I%26#39;d say.

CBGB%26#39;s T-Shirt shop is open all day, and is great. We ate at Grimaldi%26#39;s last Thursday at around 2 pm (after walking across the bridge) and we were about the only people there . . .
