So sorry for your experience! Sad to hear. In April another couple and us ended up walking from Taste Factory to a restaurant, quite a ways down from there. Didn't remember how far it really was until we started walking. I was nervous because of stories I had heard and kept telling the others in the group to be careful...watch surroundings etc. We probably arrived at the restaurant around 5:30? and it was probably 8 or a bit later when we walked back. We chose to walk mainly due to a huge traffic jam on the street. We were walking faster than the cars driving. Sad that you can't be out and about enjoying the evening.
