Is it save at such nightly hours, to take subway and walk around in
Queens, Brooklyn and Manhatten,

Yes.

Does the subway is out of service during night or
runs 24h?

24/7, every day of the year.

Any other hints I should know? I'm from a european town (vienna) where
its pretty save to walk around everywhere anytime a day/night.

I'm not familiar with Vienna, but my perception is that New York is
about as safe as most of the European cities I've been to, and safer
than some.

Also, another trip might bring me some days to New Orleans or
Washington DC or some other nice city in the eastern states. I wonder
which might be a good choice, for reasons like historical,
architectural value, getting an impression of urban lifestyle or
similar. Not of interest are beaches and/or single monument
attractions, instead I'd like to get the feeling of living at some
location.

DC would be a good choice, as would Boston. Chicago is also
worthwhile, and noted for its architecture.
