I live on the Northshore
I’d prolly be driving down there, work 2-3 days, drive back. I’ll do this every couple of months.
TIA

First, get you a New Iberia haircut, so they know you’re for real. Throw in a pair of crocs to go along with a ratty muscle shirt, drop some “baws” while you’re picking up your unfiltered smokes, and you’ll be golden.

Eat at Shuck’s and Black’s, if it is still open.

one of the best towns per capita as far as restaurants go
Riverfront/Dupuys are top notch - both have good bars also
Can also drive 10 min out of town to Hebert's Steakhouse
Shucks is good
Richard's/ Cajun Claws for boiled seafood

If Fruit of the Loom never closed the factory there Abbeville would be a happening city

Shucks is one my favorite places to eat. They got a golf course but it’s not in great shape. The crime will only find you if you look for it, good little downtown area

Museums and art galleries are world class.
Uber is best way to get around for after theatre dinner.

Dupuy's oyster bar for the win.

Take highway 90 back and forth
Stay on the main outside roadways.. highway 14, state street, etc. do not venture into the middle of Abbeville
Handy Mart has some solid gas station food.
El Caminos is solid as well. Good to great margaritas.
I think there’s a newer hotel near the airport going towards Erath.. stay there if you stay the night.
Most importantly, Shucks, Riverfront, Dupuis.. make sure you eat at all of these restaurants

That and Katrina refugees and their families creating an even bigger gang culture. And the white flight to Youngsville and Maurice that followed

Crime is high. Lock your vehicles like you would in Nola. Food is great. If you’re lucky you’ll get to watch a sonic style beat down insider the Walmart.

The catering place by the library has some killer lunch specials on Fridays. Or at least they did about 20 years ago.

Places to eat:
Dupuy's
RiverFront
Shucks
If you're looking to grab a drink, I'd go with the bar at Dupuy's, or Kelvin's.
As another poster said, essentially just stay on the main roads of the town and you won't have anything at all to worry about.
I don't know of a hotel that I would stay at in Abbeville, other than The Caldwell House and I'm not even sure that it's open as a hotel anymore.
