NYC is an incredible destination for solo female travelers. Not only is it walkable, it's one of the safest large cities in the US, and can be extremely budget-friendly. One inexpensive thing to do: take the $2 ferry to the car-free Governors Island and renting a bike or walking to take in gorgeous skyline views from a bar or one of the playful parks.
