You may have your answer by now but I have just seen your question. There are many masjids and schools in nbi and wearing scarf is well accepted. A good area to start would be South C where there is a large mosque and school. Most meat is halal. I have found the Islamic community in nbi very helpful and welcoming to visitors.
