You will be safe in the Esplanade area outside the Mystery Street entrance. There is a good French bistro nearby on Esplanade named Cafe Degas. A good po-boy place fairly close to Fair Grounds is Parkway Bakery. Of course, you won't need to go there after getting a corned beef at the track. If you are interested in some Italian desserts, try Angelo Brocato's on Carrollton.

New Orleans is a great restaurant town. FWIW, my favorite is Brigtsen's. Award winning chef and owner Frank Brigtsen is a big racing fan.
