Darrells is apparently the best they have and it's not that great

Well, for starters, it isn't Baton Rouge which is currently being ripped apart by the new mayor and other shitty community organizers. Stay by the casinos as others have said. The eats aren't all that bad and I'll remention a few, 121 Bistro, Mazens, The Chart House (golden nugget), Vic & Anthony's for a good steak., rikenjacks and Nina P's for a burger. Steamboat Bills and Seafood Palace for seafood. Luna's, Tia Juanita's, Chastains, Darrells is all good. Cousins for Greek/Lebanese food which is one of my favorites. 4-6 weeks here, go play some golf and take a guided big lake fishing trip. Take a beer tour at Crying Eagle Brewery and get drunk. Congratulate Nic Hunter for winning the mayors office over Wilford Carter. If you're a single guy, the night life kinda sucks but there is the Blue Martini at the Golden Nugget. Last time I went, it was full of dick bags but I guess that follows the small percentage of decent looking women around here. The traffic sucks due to the big influx of people here for plant work. Avoid Martin Luther King Boulevard, standard in most cities. It'll be over before ya know it

This is pretty accurate. LC isn't bad baw. It's a relatively small city but definitely not a shithole.

It has a loop. Get on it and stay near the casinos.

There's some good restaurants near the downtown area. Don't go north of I10 or east of say common street at any costs.

ETA and get a Darrel's sandwich. frick the haters.

I can think of a lot worse places to be stuck for 4-6 weeks for work. LCH isn't that bad.
