Mу friend, іt іѕ very safe tο ride tһе subway аt tһе hour οf night, specially wіtһ Christmas shoppers going home fοr tһе night.
Iח regards tο tһе area іח qυеѕtіοחеԁ, Queensboro Plaza. Tһе walk frοm tһе subway station, wһісһ іѕ elevated іח Queens, tο уουr hotel take аbουt 5 tο 10 minutes.
Gοοԁ luck

Of course it is safe.
To avoid confusion:
Queensboro Plaza Station served by (7), (N), (W) is located on Queens Blvd around 27th St. This station is elevated.
Queens Plaza Station served by (E)(G)(R)(V) is underground and located around Queens Blvd/Jackson Av.
In Long Island City:
(7) stops at Vernon Blvd-Jackson Av, well as 45th Rd-Court House Sq.
(E)(V)(G) at 23rd St-Ely Av/Court Sq
(F) stop st St-Queensbridge.
As I always say, don’t think so much about the subway itself. Think more about where you have to go after you get off the subway. The subway there will be fine, you’re talking about some of the busier lines around. As for the area around the station, it’s OK, but be aware of your surroundings. Not my ideal place to be at 10 or 11 PM, but it’s not horrendous. It’s OK.
