@MrGomco What do you mean by "overpopulation"?? are tall buildings automatically "overpopulated"?? One very nice thing about the population density in NYC is that level of demand means you can find most of your necessities in a ten minute walk from where you live: food, clothing, household necessities, coffee shops, book stores, etc etc.
Regarding crime, NYC has 538.9 violent crimes per 100K population. That puts it 59th on the list of violence in US cities; exceeded by Jacksonville (631), St Petersburg (698), Miami (720), and Orlando (744), to name a few [data from wikipedia].
In fact, there are five whole states that have higher rates of violent crime per capita! I'm talking to YOU, Alaska, Arkansas, Louisiana, New Mexico, & Tennessee!!
Disclaimer: I do not, nor have I ever, resided in New York City nor New York state, although I have visited both city and state upon occasion. I collected this NYC data because I often see NYC wrongly badmouthed.

@ElwoodBlues Totally agree; NYC gets a bum rap. There are many places where people could sport bumper stickers that boast "My Crime Rate Can Beat Up NYC's Crime Rate!"
But to the O.P.'s question: I think romance is what a person makes it. Central Park alone is basis for a sweet romance bumper sticker of its own. Ditto for "Under the Boardwalk" at Coney Island in the previous century. (Their boardwalk is now near ground level--far too low for hanky-panky, at least while standing up.)
