I'm a first time visitor, arriving fairly late at mighnight. Flight lands at 9.55pm, so I expect to be in town at earliest midnight.
I can't comment on safety concerns, but I can tell you it ain't pretty. But, if you're looking for the New York gritty type of experience, I think you've found it.

Just my 2 cents.
