3 train at Nostrand

People in Crown Heights don't walk at night. As soon as the sun sets, the neighborhood goes to sleep and wakes up at dawn.

You're kidding, right? On Nostrand Avenue on Friday and Saturday there are at least two clubs, between Sterling Place and Prospect Place, that keep things jumping until the wee hours. The 400 Club and Secrets have packed dance scenes with cars double parked out front all night long on the weekends.

On weekdays, things are a little slower but my wife and I have walked from the 3 stop to Park Place, about six blocks north of EPW at all hours of the night for the past 4 years without incidence.

I must say that according to the latest crime stats, assaults and robberies appear to up versus last year in the 77th pct, so this situation may be subject to change.

Thin white male here. Done that walk multiple times (to St. Johns) without issue, also from #2 a few more blocks down. Did not feel threatened.

At first I was a little worried because sometimes the area seems to turn into a young black male hangout around that time or a little before, but I quickly figured out that they weren't bad kids, and have had ZERO problems. Honestly, the only time I was worried about safety was when I inadvertently passed through Franklin and Lincoln around that time, fucking blatant drug dealing and stuff going on there, it really kinda sketched me out. So I don't go there anymore.

But Nostrand, haven't run into anything but friendly kids and (sometimes) grumpy old men. Mostly pleasant.
