There are a lot of different opinions presented in this thread. Let me give you mine which may be good or bad.
I had an apartment in midtown for a while. It was paid for by my employer as I was dealing with a customer in that area. Honestly, it sucked. The sidewalks were always full of tourists and it got even worse around the holidays when I had to fight past them when they abruptly stopped to take selfies while I was carrying groceries.
Eating out was another issue. There are a few hidden gems in the area, but you mostly have lackluster tourist spots or high-end "put it on my expense account" types of places.
I found myself often going to other parts of the city for food and entertainment. Back then, I would always take the subway to get around. But, as others have mentioned, the crime has gotten out of hand and the subway no longer feels safe.
