Food Scene

Always great poboys! If you have never had a poboy (or even if you have had 1000) then you need to try this place - you can even use Waitr and get it delivered to the house.

Great locally roasted coffee downtown - roasts some of the best coffee I have had, and they always have a great selection of unique drinks including Nitro coffee and kombucha on tap.

There are some short trails that go in the swamp - a great place to try to see some alligators or go fishing or canoeing or just check out some beautiful swamp. There are some swamp tours that leave from here.

You have to pay a couple dollars to get in, but this is a beautiful manicured nature areas with giant oaks, sculptures, swamps, birds and usually lots of alligators. Also it is right next to the Tabasco sauce factory which gives free tours.
