Actually I am told NY is a lot safer than when I lived there. Basically exercising basic caution, like what we always talk about in Condition Yellow etc, is good advice.
My wife, daughter, and I took a short vacation to NYC last summer because I had never been before. I've got to say we never felt unsafe, nor were we exposed to the stereotypical rude New Yorker. In fact, at one point, I was looking around to get my bearings so we could find some landmark we wanted to visit and a guy in a suit stopped and asked if we needed directions. You don't get that even in medium sized Southern towns anymore. All in all, it was a very pleasant trip (other than driving through Manhattan to get to our hotel).
Can't offer much on cabs, we only took one, the rest of the time we walked or took the subway, but mostly walked.

Are there any attractions in NYC that are gun-related?
Just outside the UN there is a big sculpture I believe.

Perfect British dry humor. Very nice!
280, you need to give that lecture in Saint Louis. Peeps be blocking the box on the regular.
just to top it off you've got these insane people on bikes squeezing THEIR way through the whole mess.
I grew up in a house out on a gravel road, where there was plenty of space for bikes. I don't even like riding a bicycle through a small town, much less Manhattan.
