Love fidi! Been here 15 years after sampling other neighborhoods. Honestly most underrated best hood. The access to subways alone is amazing. I have 8 subways right outside my door and can get anywhere in the city in under 30 minutes.
I feel sale walking alone at night, the amenities are fantastic. People are great. Truly feels like a neighborhood because everyone knows each other. Super walkable. Would not live anywhere else.

I feel mostly safe walking alone at night in the financial district. There are some sketchier areas to avoid/have more caution at though (bars, alleys etc)
