Pastime for food
Do not do Pastime place is a complete dump. If you’re staying on campus you want to go eat at the chimes.

Campus is unique. Its not the usual nice brick buildings you see around the southeast, it has the charm of live oaks and spanish architecture. I'd walk around the quad, down the hill to Mike's habitat, back up Dalrymple to go to The Chimes. Get some cheese fries and/or the spinach and artichoke dip, a local beer, and the BBQ shrimp poboy.
Evening id consider going downtown to see the river, the old state capitol, or mahbe even a Zydeco game if they are playing. Id have dinner at Elsies on Govt St. You could also drive down Perkins from City Park to Parrains if you want to see more of the city. That area is cool, the Garden District that turns into the Perkins Overpass.
Depends what your kids are into, but if you have a few hours to kill and want to be outside you can either walk the LSU lakes or play 9 holes at City Park. Its a classic muni golf course, very cheap and the guys that run it are super chill. Its got some pretty rich history though and hole #4 is a really cool view of the lakes. Can basically play the whole course with a driver, wedge, and putter.

Parrain's in BR has best Louisiana seafood and food is prepared well there.
Chimes or Chimes East is also good all around LA seafood, etc.
Elsie's Platte and Pie is very good.

Check out the USS Kidd
It wasn’t there last time I drove through. I think they moved it.
Posted on 12/24/25 at 5:26 am to jafari rastaman
The USS Kidd (DD-661) recently completed a major, 14-month overhaul at Thoma-Sea Marine Constructors in Houma, LA (TMC) (2024-2025), its first significant repair in over 60 years, addressing severe hull deterioration from its long dockside stay in Baton Rouge. Repairs included hull blasting, structural steel replacement (frames, longitudinals, hull plates), cradle reinforcement, rudder work, and preparation for repainting in WWII dazzle camouflage, with final detailing handled by museum staff as the ship returns to Baton Rouge in Spring 2026.

In NOLA, walk past ACME and Brennans to Deanies. It’s where the locals go.
