Mid City Beer Garden is a laid-back open-air beer garden with a crazy selection of beers, cocktails, and casual eats that don’t feel thrown together. They’ve got burgers, wraps, BBQ pulled pork, quesadillas, salads, soups, and brunch on weekends, making it a solid choice whether you’re grabbing lunch, dinner, or drinks with friends on a perfect weather day.

The chicken club wrap hit exactly how you want it to, loaded with fresh lettuce, tomato, cheddar, bacon, and avocado wrapped in a tortilla, juicy and balanced without feeling sloppy. Swapping the fries for a side salad was a smart upgrade and didn’t skimp on freshness either. Pairing it all with half of a Parish Brewing Company Canebrake from one of their many tap options made the visit even better.

Tucked near LSU, Finbomb brings a fast-casual take on Hawaiian-style poke, sushi bowls, and burritos without cutting corners on flavor. Everything is built fresh to order, with solid portions, clean ingredients, and sauces that actually carry the dish instead of overpowering it. It’s the kind of spot that works when you want something quick, but still crave something that feels intentional and well put together.

The real draw is how customizable everything is. You can keep it clean and classic with fresh fish and rice, or load it up with crunch, heat, and sauce until it turns into a full-on flavor bomb. Either way, it hits that sweet spot between light and satisfying.

🍽️ Must Try Menu Items
🍣 Build-Your-Own Poke Bowl – total control, from proteins to sauces
🌯 Spicy Shrimp Sushi Burrito – crispy, bold, and filling

The holiday season is almost here, and one of Baton Rouge’s most meaningful traditions is returning once again. Sylvia’s Toys for Christmas will host its annual toy giveaway on Saturday morning, providing free toys to children and families across the community just days before Christmas.

The event is the culmination of weeks of toy drives held throughout the area, with generous donations collected from local businesses, credit unions, and individuals. Volunteers work behind the scenes to sort, wrap, and organize thousands of toys so each child can leave with something special.

In the days leading up to the giveaway, residents have been encouraged to participate through donation events, including drive-thru toy drop-offs that made giving back easy and accessible. Organizers say the community response has once again been overwhelming.

For many families, this event is more than a giveaway, it is a reminder of the generosity and compassion that define Baton Rouge during the holiday season. Sylvia’s Toys for Christmas continues to make a real difference, one gift and one smile at a time.
