You'd let your precious 300 -month-old go to the big, bad city without parental supervision

| I let my DD and her best friend go the month they both turned 16. A friend in NY let them stay at his apartment while he was out of town. The girls took the train in. One set of parents got them tickets to a Broadway show, and the other got them reservations at a nice restaurant for dinner. We each gave them spending money. They had a great time. |

As someone who lived in New York for years, I would NEVER let DC go to NYC without adult before 18.
It hasn't changed that much. |

It really was.  I just imagined them running through the Village holding hands and giggling hysterically, trying to pass for college kids at NYU and flirting, staying up late eating candy, using different accents each time they asked a different person for directions. They're two smart girls who like to get goofy together. The summer before college we sent them to Israel together.

| Our 17 year old family friend got himself and friend arrested for drinking in the park on their first day on their own in New York. Therefore it depends on the kids. |

| Completely alone, I'd say 16 or so, but my kids started going with a friend or group of friends in early high school- 14 or 15. |

You realize there are THOUSANDS of under 18s who navigate NYC solo every day? I was one of them. This says more about you and your kid than anything else. |
