Weekend getaway ideas—and where to grab a bite—just outside Baton Rouge

May is almost over, and with that we celebrate a new issue of 225. But before we say hello to June, we thought it was still worth it to pull some summertime inspiration from our May cover story all about local getaways.

And of course, we offer up tons of ideas for places to eat and dishes to try while you’re on the road.
