You're going to a baseball game in the bronx. Under no circumstances should you be sober at any time, let alone stay sober.

From the UK I'm off to New York for a week on the 19th and have tickets for a Yankees game on the Saturday. Should I be wary of any problems I'll encounter in the Bronx?????

Thanks for the advice, staying off Times Square, I'm assuming that the subway would be best form of transport to the game???

Hiring a car (like taking a cab, but a little more expensive) is the best if you can afford it.

Have no intention to explore the neighbourhood on this occasion!!!!!!
The seats look great, but what is it with american ticket agencies that they want to earn more per ticket than the Yankees themselves????

They are NY's rival.
A lot of people are acting like you might get killed in NY, I don't think you need to worry. I live a couple hundred miles North, and my wife goes quite often.
If you did wander into the wrong town somehow, there may be a problem I guess, but for the most part... people don't realize NY is alright, they've watched too many movies about the place or something.

The post that was quoted here has been removedI've no problem with anything south of Central Park just heard of some bad rumours about the Bronx, especially being a Brit. Went out to Meadowlands a couple of years ago for a Giants game and the people couldn't of been more friendly... I'm not anti americans,far from it, but if I was to visit London there be areas I'd avoid like the plague!!!!
By the way I didn't know Reading had such a reputation.... he he!!!!
