I love Portena, too.
I'm recently addicted to Family (37th Ave btwn 75 & 76 Street). The food is lip smackin' delicious!! Good prices and portions. I've been eating at the restaurants in this hood for years. The food here is fresh and a cut above similar places. No digestion problems to report whatsoever. I eat much hotter and spicier here than I would dare elsewhere. Waitstaff is very good. Nice quiet spot, good for a date.

What makes you think a cab is safe? There have been a slew of assaults and rapes in Chelsea over the years of people going home in cabs from the clubs and bars and drivers pushing people out in the completely wrong place. In Chelsea it was safer to walk.
This robbery took place less than 2 blocks from the train. A cab driver would laugh at you if you asked to cab it that short of a distance. I know cause I've asked and they laughed.
TiPs: If you put a friend in a cab you don't know, text or write down the time, number and name of the driver. At least, when you go MIA the police will have a lead.
Get to know a friendly/safe neighborhood cabbie and carry his number with you.
Take a self DEFENSE class.
Carry a pocket knife (under 4 inches please, its the law. This should only be used as a last resort and to open your mail. I'm not advocating violence here)
If the dude has a gun. Don't try to talk your way out or be a smart ass. Give the dude your wallet.
