The neighborhood is generally safe, but the area west and south of the fairgrounds gets a little rough. There is only one resturant in walking distance, a small Mexican place just across McDowell Road, east of 19th Avenue. A short drive to 15th ave and Thomas will get you to Hamburger Works (a little expensive, but very cool burger place, a sit down place), a sandwich shop call McGurkees, a Chinese buffet called Yums and a new Iranian/Persian restaurant. Everything else is several miles away. Also, I'm not real sure about the map there, because that Krispy Kreme is by Arizona Mills, which is on the opposite side of town from the competition.
