Safest neighborhood in New York City?

I have some friends who are looking to relocate to Manhattan in October, and the subject of safety is the number 1 issue for them.

What is the safest neighborhood in New York City?

Thanks for your advice.

That's a really tough thing to gauge. In my opinion, I would vote for either the West Village, Gramercy or Sutton Place. But, the neighborhoods are all so close that crime isn't absent anywhere.

JenMac - what about at night time if you're walking home in those three neighbourhoods? Would be feeling safe at all? Is it pretty busy at most hours?
