Fleming’s now open for lunch on Fridays
Now you don’t have to wait for dinner to treat yourself to Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar. The restaurant has been a dinner-only spot for more than a decade. But now, every Friday in December, the steakhouse will be open for lunch 11:30 a.m.-2:30 p.m. The restaurant will serve its regular dinner menu as well as some lunch offerings, including a vegetarian power bowl with grilled avocado, mixed greens and seasonal vegetables.
Eat tacos and shop Christmas goods Wednesday
After you chow down on some tacos at Mestizo Louisiana Mexican Cuisine, sneak in some local shopping. The second annual Mestizo Market features local vendors selling their Christmas gifts and services Wednesday, Dec. 12, 5-9 p.m.
Head to the restaurant, 2323 South Acadian Thruway, to enjoy all this, plus live music by singer-songwriter and Port Allen native Taylor Rae.

Sing your heart out to the Grinch-themed karaoke Saturday
Sure, regular karaoke is fun and all, but there’s no party quite like a Grinchmas Christmas karaoke party at La. Daiquiris of Baton Rouge. The big night is Saturday, Dec. 15, 5 p.m.-2 a.m. at the bar, 1962 O’Neal Lane.
Expect prizes and drink specials, plus a free shot for anyone who dresses like the Grinch himself or dons Christmas apparel. Much to the Grinch’s dismay, the music is sure to be joyful and triumphant.
