We are flying into Baton Rouge around 6:30 and have rented a car. One night/day in Baton Rouge. We will be heading up to Natchez for a night, down to Nottaway to spend a night, then to the NO Jazz festival.
Is there a restaurant or bar that we can drive to see the Miss. River and Veg out. I am sure we will be too tired from just sitting in the airplane all day but we don%26#39;t want to just check in our hotel (Courtyard by Marriott @ Adrionick?)
We%26#39;ve come to experience southern hospitality, history and good music.
By the way got the hotel for 90.00 on Priceline 4/23/09.
Baton Rouge drinks/view for 50+
Tsunami restaurant and rock garden on top of the Shaw Musuem of Art (downtown) across from the Old State Capital.......a must for drinks, views and dinner. (Construction downtown but there is a parking garage near there right off of 3rd Street @ Florida Street, I think?) Capital City Grill downstairs is also excellent for dinner. You will see a grand view of the Mighty Mississippi, the lighted bridge and downtown Baton Rouge.
I%26#39;m confused about Courtyard by Marriott @ Adrionick? Did you mean Acadian Thruway possibly? I think there is another one on Siegen Lane but Acadian will be much closer to downtown.
Enjoy! You%26#39;ve got a grand trip planned!

You are right it is the Acadian. I didn%26#39;t have my reservations handy when I wrote this.
Is this a casual dress or should we dress up. We probably don%26#39;t want dinner that late but some appetizers and ambiance!
This looks to be close to downtown?
It is located downtown. I would recommend stopping off on your way to the hotel since you will definitely pass by the downtown exists on your way to Acadian Thruway exit. Normal dress is business casual though I%26#39;ve seen people up there many times in shorts/jeans without any problem.
I%26#39;m trying to think of the best exit that you would take coming in from the airport (opposite from where I live.) If you need specific directions, write back and I%26#39;ll try to help you.
One more thing....if you don%26#39;t want sushi type things at Tsunami, try a crab cake downstairs at Capital City Grill (appetizer size). They%26#39;re delicious!
