New York isn't New York without you, love

 These are from the last time I went to NYC in 2017.

Have no heroes, eat your kings.

New York really only means one thing to me (and it's a bad thing) and I have debilitating anxiety just thinking of having to go back there.

A bunch of my friends are debuting in Broadway Shows this year and I want to see them. I just don't know if I want to go back into the belly of the beast, or, should I saw, the sewer rat hole, to do it. I know that NYC is a massive city and that there are millions of people there, but I have bad luck and certain people like to borrow trouble. Could I do it? Could I get in and out of NYC unscathed?
