Note on New Orleans sandwiches:
Every poboy is great from soft shell crab to ham and cheese (a Patton’s hot sausage or a hot juicy roast beef is nothing to sneer at!), as long as they use Leidenheimer French bread.
Also there’s a second New Orleans sandwich called the muffuletta. Must be tried by all. It’s a collection of deli meats and cheeses on a round seeded Italian bread loaf. But the star of the show is olive salad! Trust me, on your way out you will stop at a local grocery store and buy a quart or two.
Recommended places near the French Quarter:
Central Grocery and Deli 923 Decatur St. This grocery store founded in 1906 by Salvatore Lupo, a Sicilian immigrant, is famous for creating the muffuletta.
Verti Marte on 1201 Royal St
Napoleon House 500 Charters St
Or Cochon Butcher at 930 Tchoupitoulas St Ste A
There are other great muffulettas to be found in local neighborhoods including the seafood muff!

Parrain’s Seafood on Perkins. If you want to try some Louisiana food it has some good stuff. Not in Baton Rouge but since you are going to New Orleans you have got to go to the World War 2 Museum. Do not go to New Orleans without going to that.

Drop the kids off the corner of roosevelt and wyoming and let them slang percs. Use the money to buy sugar bowl tickets. Go to an empty tiger stadium and look at the sez expansion. Its the same view and amount of people there as on a gameday

The Chimes, Elsie’s, Raul’s, Inga’s, and Louie’s are all classic BR/LSU staples for a reason.
There’s not much to see in BR, especially with the lakes under construction and the USS Kidd in dry dock out of town. The old state capital, LSU Art Museum, new state capital, and capital park museum are alright downtown. At LSU, there’s the Tiger Cage.
However, I would focus far more time on New Orleans. Walk around the Quarter, window shop on Royal Street, see St. Louis Cathedral, the French Market, ride the streetcar up town, do a lap at Audubon Park and drink freezes at Camilia Grill, grab po’boys at Liuzzas or Parkway and picnic under the pavilions at city park, New Orleans Art Museum, Civil War Museum, The Cabildo, WWII Museum, southern food museum, voodoo museum, serial killer museum, the zoo, the aquarium, etc.
It doesn’t make much sense to play tourist in a non-touristy place when there’s one of the best tourist cities in the world a short drive away.

You must NOT go to North Baron Rouge
Ngl, food at Tony’s or Domingue’s Stockyard Cafe are worth the trip.
