Food is the only reason to visit IMO.

Mike the Tiger and a simple stroll through LSU.
I'd also suggest stopping at the LSU Dairy Store for a refreshing milkshake with your Mother-in-law if it wasnt closed for good.

It's reopening in a new location.

I’ve always enjoyed the drive up to St Francisville.
Port Hudson battlefield park
Port Hudson national cemetery
Lots of older plantations.
The Rosedown is my personal favorite unchanged over the years and still in original form and decor. Pretty neat tour.

I would highly recommend a stroll down Plank Road on a Friday night.

Capitol Park Museum is really good for an over view of Louisiana history and culture

A hidden gem in Baton Rouge
Also, check out LSU Hilltop Arboretum if the weather is nice.

Good rec. St Francisville is a good visit and Port Hudson should be nice in the winter for an outdoor walk

The Francis outdoor deck is nice if not too hot. Just go for the atmosphere and drinks.

We had a great breakfast at Louie’s this morning.
I hadn’t been in several years. Rumors of its demise are unfounded.

I would go to Houmas House Plantation for a tour, have come cocktails in the Turtle Bar, and dinner at the Carriage House or Latil's Landing on-site. Beautiful gardens. You could stay on-site for a night if you wanted.

If you’re going to the Old State Capitol and the Kidd, go down North Street and see the Old Governor’s Mansion too.

The Audubon House and grounds are nice. Not too far from St Francisville.
