I (33F – US) will be there for about 3 nights. I’m going to a show one night (Hamilton!) which I am so excited about! It was my main reason for the trip.
I’ve been to the city a few times but it’s been a few years. I haven’t booked a hotel or anything else yet. Not going until late Oct.
I have a great job and make a decent living. I never do much for myself. I did ask a few friends and my siblings. None are fully committed. So I’m down to do this alone. I want to see the show so badly.
I’m a bit excited and intimidated to travel alone. Even if it’s just NY.
Anyone with tips, I would love it. It’s also much more logistics and what to do. I know women can always travel alone and do what they want! I’m just a little bit chicken. Lol.

Stay in a safe neighbourhood, even it means spending a bit more on the hotel. If not, you may feel too unsafe to be out by yourself past dark and that could be inconvenient.
I’m excited for you to see Hamilton!! There’s lots you can do as a woman alone. Spa day, museums, Michelin Star restaurant, luxury shopping, opera, ballet, haircut, NYC brunch. You can go on group tours via TripAdvisor or Airbnb experiences so you’re not alone. There’s Uber and a taxi app called Curb (I’d take that at night so you don’t have to walk far alone). I’ve stayed in Chelsea several times and felt very safe walking by myself.
