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.

Ngl, food at Tony’s or Domingue’s Stockyard Cafe are worth the trip.

Go to the Louisiana state museum downtown, the exhibits are really nice
The Billy cannon exhibit is also still going and is neat to see
After head over to capitol and ride the elevator to the top
Pretty cool views back towards lsu and the bridge on both sides

Elsie’s Plate and Pie on government street. Good food. Give it a try.

Ginos for best Italian.
Brewbachers by mall if you want a good burger.
Chimes on campus. Get blackened alligator for app.
Past time lounge for a good po boy.

Elsie’s deserves its props. The food is quite amazing. The thread has provided just about everything you could hit in BR. Seafood in BR is generally mid.
I would skip ALL BR poboy places listed and save that experience for NOLA. Parkway was listed and it’s consistently one of the best in the city. Avoid Mothers. It’s a tourist trap and an utter disappointment.
Serio’s has a better muffuletta than Central Grocery. Check his hours given the holiday season.

Thouroughly enjoyed Juban's Restaurant on numerous occasions, highly recommended. 10 minute drive from Lod Cook.

Elsie’s is damn near impossible to get in to after they received a Michelin recommendation

Cou-yon's just across the river in Port Allen is pretty good. Bread pudding with the Jack Daniel's sauce is a must try if you go.

the actual best restaurant in the city is Elsie’s plate and Pie
it was recognized in some capacity by the Michelin Guide. No stats because it’s not fancy but I thinj it was “recommended”

The architecture on LSU's campus is Italian Renaissance.
From LSU's website:
"From the 1,200 live oaks shading every path to the Italian-Renaissance inspired architecture dating back to the 1920s, our campus in Baton Rouge is considered one of the most beautiful in the country."
