| What are you on about? Anyway, NYC is a notoriously hard city to explore in. There's nowhere else (besides maybe Washington DC) where the post-9/11 surveillance state expanded as much as it did in NYC, and they NYPD has more officers than the armies of some countries. That being said, people do explore there. Most of what I've seen online comes from rooftoppers, which is understandably a big part of urbex in NYC. There are folks who do the drains and subways and sewers too, but they tend to keep a much lower profile online because so much of what they do is considered critical infrastructure and post-9/11 New York has been rather sensitive about that. There's bandos too, but from my understanding not as many as you'd expect from a city the size of NYC- instead most folks just cross the river into Newark to get their bando fix, because there's more than you can shake a stick at there. Bottom line, there's folks out there. They tend to either keep a low profile or blow stuff on Tiktok with no middle ground, but they're out there. Just keep exploring, posting photos, and interacting with the community online in spaces like this forum and Instagram and you'll find them eventually- or maybe they'll find you.

| I would say that cameras are more effective than actual officers are. For exploring wise anyway. The number of officers the NYPD has does not make exploring there any harder than Newark or any other major city. I’m more worried about cameras or the average New Yorker seeing you and calling you in like you’re some kind of terrorist. NYC has a decent amount of abandonments, but most you can’t just walk right in. Also the worst city I’ve been to regarding cameras and officers is London or England as a whole. Cameras are everywhere there.

| | | There are quite a bit of abandoned locations in NYC but it is not the type as people have said on this thread, you can walk into easily. Most of the time you either have to summersault over green boards and hope no one sees you or find a creative entrance most people will overlook. NYC has them but you have to be creative and have a bit of luck to get into some of them. I am currently sitting on two churches but entrances right now are hard because of people on the street during the summer. It might be doable now as winter sets in for me. Posted by Aran
