Cozy Nature Restaurants Sports Louisiana

The town of Livingston is a cozy and quiet one in Louisiana, as it’s just over three square miles. Many of the people who live here commute to work in neighboring towns and cities; specifically, those who enjoy a simple home life. However, the small-town atmosphere combined with outdoor entertainment and dining, makes this city a great place to live.

Aside from the typical dining options like fast-food chains, the locals really prefer the independently owned eateries such as Wayne’s Real BBQ off Route 63. Its hole-in-the-wall ambiance coupled with out-of-this-world brisket makes this place really stand out from the pack.

Entertainment in Livingston is going to be more nature-based. From camping to outdoor nature walks, this city will really have you tuned in to the great outdoors – your soon-to-be favorite channel. In addition, it has a relatively robust park and recreation department. As such, those who enjoy being active and in team sports can benefit from the town leagues at Johnny Sartwell Memorial Park.

While there’s not much for public transportation, Interstate 12 is close by and the travel time to Baton Rouge is about thirty minutes.
