If you like a little bit of little-known history, go visit the Lousiana Orphan Train Museum in Vieux Village. Then go eat at Mama's Fried Chicken on St Landry St.

You don't like Evangeline? I will be honest, I rather go there than to the Fairgrounds in New Orleans. It just seems like a more relaxed atmosphere I guess, but it's not bad.

There is also a strip club close to it, the OP might want to check it out.

Apologies

And food is really the only answer

On top of everywhere mentioned, there is a new coffee shop in an old bank in the center of town that’s cool.

Closest strip club I know of is in Lafayette, Michael's.

That would not be a wise decision unless one has achieved honorary black man status.

Evangeline Downs. Get a table upstairs in the clubhouse, a bucket of beer, and bet on some ponies.

There was once one between Opelousas and Lafayette on the east side of I-49, can't remember the name.

Pizza Shack is meh, Mamas is descent but you may as well hit Popeyes, the crawfish house is dog shite, and Evangeline downs is ghetto AF. Grab a burger at Joes during day light hours and get the frick out.

Have you been in the last 20 yrs? The entire town is a rundown ghetto and seems to get worse every time I have to pass through.
