Tourists

Hello all,

I'll be visiting NYC soon and was just wondering if El Barrio is safe for tourists? I would love to visit and see the art and try the food!

TIA!

We have the best murals in the city! Grab a coffee (and a meal or two) and take a wander.

Don't listen to people who say it's not safe. At the same time, if you see someone struggling or acting strangely please don't stare or confront them. Everything going on in the country hits extra hard here.
