Sad you get so many useless answers. Guess those smartass people have never traveled outside their backyards. If you have time a plantation home tour is a look at southern living. There are 12 between BR and New Orleans. Nottoway close by is over 50,000 sq ft and was the first home in America to have indoor hot and cold running water and indoor lighting. They made methane from sugarcane and had gas lamps in every room. And a swamp airboat tour is absolutely something to see. The Atchafalaya Swamp is the largest in America and close by.

Why go to a chain restaurant like Ruth's Chris or Sullivans?

you’re gonna hate on Gino’s at least spell it right. Btw it’s a lot better than DiGulios


The last time I got veal Marsala at Gino’s* , I swear it was canned brown gravy. Unfortunately cheese bread and arancini can’t make up for fricking up a traditional Italian dish. Same reason I don’t go to Little Village.

Ruth Chris


Ruth Fertel went to LSU and the 2nd Ruth's Chris steakhouse was located in Prairieville, LA and moved to Baton Rouge...so getting a steak there would only be fitting.

Pokey was my old neighbor. He passed away


Is that why Pocorello's closed down?

He was always upbeat and positive.

Everything you referenced is 30 plus miles away from BR. What about world class museums, zoos, gardens, etc that other cities offer?

If you’re being honest, the casino, battleship if open, Capital Tour, and Blue Bayou are the highlights.

He asked “what to do”, not “where to eat”?
