This might be the wrong place to ask this, and excuse my ignorance, but I moved to the city a couple months ago and have to take the 2:40am Amtrak out of Penn Station every once in awhile. I live in Hell’s Kitchen and usually try to walk everywhere.

Long story short, is there a… safest avenue to walk down to get to 34th around that time of night? 10th is a bit too no-man’s-land, 9th is decent then dead after port authority, 8th is the straightest shot and usually more active - but usually active with questionable stuff.

I’m a dude in his late 20s but look pretty young and have gotten heckled at a few times. Not trying to be alarmist and it seems mostly fine - just keep walking and ignore everyone. I suppose I could take the subway down but it’s slightly out of the way and walking is about the same.
