Traveling from Canada

Hello! Traveling from Canada with my family (husband and 2 school age kids). My daughter (7) and I will be seeing a broadway show and it is an 8pm start. How safe is it for my daughter and I to venture back to our hotel on our own later at night (11pm). I’ve never been so I have no idea what we are getting into

I’m looking at booking hotels and debating it’s proximity to the theatre if I should book across the street ($$) or if a few blocks walk is fine or further out taking a taxi is safe enough.

Thanks!
