Do avoid both stations late at night. Early morning should be OK.
Whether your precise walking area is safe or not depends on whether the riff-raff are also capable of walking a few blocks from the station.
Restaurants. Ask the riff-raff for their recommendations (during the daytime).
Bakeries. Look for any Artisan Boulanger bakeries (as opposed to non-artisan).
