It’s Sunday. Finally, you have some free time to indulge at your favorite restaurant or scour the sales at that boutique you’ve been dying to check out. And then you remember: It’s closed.

We feel your pain. We’ve been there, too. But while it’s true that many places in Baton Rouge are closed on Sundays, there are still plenty that are open—making it the perfect day of the week to try something new.

We rounded up more than 50 things to eat, see or do with the second half of your weekend—so you can start the new week feeling renewed. Because, after all, a Sunday well spent brings a week of content.
