I imagine you've raised a very morally sound daughter so she's not gonna go off the deep end and will use her better judgement when travelling (ie, travel in groups, not so late, etc).
I'm so excited for her!

Agree. Harlem is going through gentrification. I know several young ladies who live in the neighborhood, as it's one of the only affordable places in Manhattan for young professionals. It's home to several popular bars/restaurants.
