Due to the difference in attitude and life experiences, Snow and Charming to not understand Emma very well. Besides, Hook is the only character who had even been to New York before. When has Hook been to New York before? And Hook is actually the worst choice to navigate New York because he is the only one who does not have memories of living in the modern world. Remember how he had no idea what was bologna and photoshop. Like I said, Neal was no idiot.... he knew exactly what he was doing, when he entrusted the fate of his family in Hook's hand (pun intended). I do not think he is an idiot but he was desperate and Hook was the only choice he had of getting a message to Emma. Let's not forget that Hook left the entire group since day one to become a pirate again and even David showed some disappointment at his decision. Neal may or may not have trusted Hook but that is another matter entirely.
