There is no where in the UK I would not go but in the US I was told not to go into certain areas of LA NY and Washington, and people refused to take me.
The Muslim area of Whitechapel is very popular with Brick lane being a tourist attraction, arty markets, and great Indian food. Very hip. Used to be the Jewish quarter and before that refugees from France...
Whether the no go areas in the US are just irrational fear or not I have no way of telling.
When I was in LA I spent a lot of time walking around at night and found people to be friendly and interested. The hotel staff thought I was mad.
