Downtown pretty much shuts down after 5pm. Westshore Blvd is going to have more dining options (Starbucks at both ends), two malls (on each end). It’s very easy to get downtown without a car. HART route 30 runs along Westshore Blvd and straight down Kennedy Blvd into downtown if you have business to attend to.
Westshore is a safe area to walk around at night but then again I’m a native so somewhat biased I guess. Downtown isn’t “dangerous” but it’s creepy after sundown.
