We are definitely going to be in French Quarter, Garden District, and the Warehouse district, but I wanted to hear if there's anything worth checking out in Treme and if it's safe to go through there or not.

I was there pre COVID, and many of the jazz bars in the treme had shut down or been replaced with/evolved into sketchier local bars. There are still places in the area to go, but from I saw the treme is not the cultural hot spot it was pre Katrina.
If you are going there, I'd go in a cultural tour in the day and check out a well reviewed restaurant. I would not go there during the night looking for jazz bars. That's what we did and it was very sketchy. When I said the Ubers wouldn't pick us up, it was in the treme. I think some of the places still have jazz nights or special concerts, but it's not like it was where every night you could just drop in for live jazz.
