I lived in Little Italy a few years ago, while it was listed
as the safest neighborhood in Baltimore.  The people who live 
there are very kind and watch out for their neighborhood.

On one of the Saint's Days, the Fathers at St. Leo's Church
stand at the front door of the church and bless about a hundred
local neighborhood pets, including sprinkling a little holy
water on someone's goldfish :)

I'd say you are safe in Little Italy as well as south wards to the
water.   The projects are north, but it is really more a perception
of danger there that is a factor, rather than actual danger.

Walking East along Eastern Avenue between Fells Point (Broadway) and 
Little Italy is really not a fearful thing even in the wee hours.

Walking West, past the Columbus Monument, on to the Inner Harbor
also seems pleasant even at odd hours.   Fun for late-night 
mild-weather walks with friends.
