I am planning a trip to the city end of this month to get away for a few days and stuff my face with food basically.

Have been looking at Airbnbs in both Chelsea, Manhattan, and Williamsburg, Brooklyn, and they are both well located to public transit (Subway) which is important because I will be out and about trying different restaurants. The only reason I am choosing these two locations is that they have good prices for Airbnbs (although Williamsburg is even cheaper).

Don't really care to be in the busiest part of the city mainly because I have stayed in the theater district twice when I was a teenager and because of the climate of the world right now.

Which one is safer if you don't mind me asking?
