It's almost impossible to get lost in Manhattan and being so small you can pretty much walk everywhere within it. On the whole the city seemed far safer than London, or any other major UK city so you'll be fine on the whole (certain parts of Harlem, although generally nowhere near as bad as you might imagine seemed a bit dodgy, but only late at night - same for certain parts of the Bronx and Brooklyn). You should definitely wander around the East Village, Chinatown and Chelsea. Christ, Im actually getting all excited for you here.

my first time in new york city this black woman told me to get off at this stop because i would fit in more. it turns out it was harlem and i was the only white person in the area (that i saw). i got these weird looks, especially when i went in a mcdonalds and found out that i was REALLY the only white person there. worst of all was that i was carrying all my luggage. i got so many death stares and i almost had a panic attack.
