Hey guys!
A forum member emailed me about spending a long weekend in May or June with his wife site seeing in STL. He needed some recommendations on places to see, and places to eat. (He knows about the arch)
Does anybody have any ideas for him, I've got a few suggestions:
Anheuser Busch Brewery tour:
http://www.budweisertours.com/docs/stltour.htm
St Louis Zoo (recommended):
http://www.stlzoo.org/
Missouri Botanical Garden Butteryfly house: (yea, it's actually pretty neat. The wife will love it)
http://www.butterflyhouse.org/
Fast Eddie's Bon Aire: (Bar and Grill)
The place is a dive BUT has: Great food, live music, cheap prices
http://www.fasteddiesbonair.com/index.cfm
St. Louis Science Center: (great for kids and adults too. The laser show is badass!)
http://www.slsc.org/
St. Louis Art Museum:
http://www.stlouis.art.museum/
Forest Park: (which contains a few of the above places)
http://stlouis.missouri.org/citygov/parks/forestpark/
White Castle (fast food) Interesting, everybodies gotta do it once in thier life.
Ted Drewes Frozen Custard (Famous in the area. Potential for a very long wait time!)
http://www.teddrewes.com/Drewes.asp
Ruth's Chris Steakhouse (I've never been here, too pricey for me. Have heard many folks rave about it)
http://www.ruthschris.com/locations/stlouissteakhouse.html
Of course we have all the sporting event stuff, but since it sounds like the plans are for a nice quiet weekend, just the two of them, these may have a low WAF. :lol:
Any idea guys?

Go to BB's for lunch & then catch a ball game @ Busch. Awesome food & soup & tunes...
The Arch!
Fast Eddie's for Food on a Stick is a GREAT suggestion...their shrimps are excellent. Not much else to do in Alton though, except gamble...
Tratoria Marsala: for the $ not much can beat it...
ANY place on the Hill. Lunch at Zia's is my fav.
ANY strip bar in Sauget...$1 goes REAL far.
Ok, that last one may not work!
-
Heres a few more
I'll second dining down on The Hill (http://www.diningstl.com/TheHill.htm). Gian-Tony's is one of my favs but you really can't go wrong with any of the places down there. Fabulous Italian food. Get there early on weeknights and if you are going on a weekend GET A RESERVATION, trust me.
Another MUST is a trip to The Loop (http://www.ucityloop.com/) in U City. Its a great place to people watch and get some decent food. Blueberry Hill (http://www.blueberryhill.com/) has to be on the list while you are there. If burgers and beers don't do it for you, there are plenty of other fine eating establishments for choose from.
If they are coming while the season is still on, Powell Hall the St Louis Symphony Orchestra (http://www.slso.org/) is another great thing to do. We are lucky enough to have a world class orchestra here in town. That or you may want to walk across the street and catch a play or concert at the Fabulous Fox Theater (http://www.fabulousfox.com/attractions.asp).
Heres a link to quite a few local music venues. (http://www.audiocircle.com/index.php?topic=27488.msg244548#msg244548)
Heres a link for Dine St Louis (http://www.diningstl.com/). Clayton also has some VERY good restaurants. The Landing, Soulard and the Central West End are all decent places to hang out in if you are looking for some nightlife.
Well, thats all I can think of for the moment.
HEY BOB or STEVE K. You should probably make this a Sticky. That way, anyone making the trek can check out our suggestions :green:
-
I'm sure there are more things to do in STL.... Come on fella's, what else we got??
Bob
-
i never knew there were other audiophiles in st louis! too late now, moved to kentucky... curses.
all great places; anyone ever been to racanelli's pizza? great pizza. they're gigantic with gigantic slices and probably not the most healthy, but i haven't had better pizza since.
also, some shameless plugging: lindbergh highschool has free student concerts randomly throughout the year. their band program is top-notch, performed at the rose bowl not too long ago, if you're in the area it's worth it.
st louis is such a great city, i'm sad that i moved. here we've got... uhhh... hmmm... kfc?
-
Central West End - Tons of shops and restaurants
Clayton - tons of restaurants and one of the best Art Fairs in the nation - not to mention the Taste of Clayton food thingy
I second The Loop - St. Louis' version of the Village with a lot more college students
City Museum - an outstanding place for kids AND adults
Magic House in Kirkwood - another great place for kids (and adults)
Scott Faller's Basement - Adults only, please.
The Tap Room and The Bottleworks (Maplewood) Absolutely some of the best craft beers in the country.
The Machester Strip in Maplewood - great food, nice shops. It's coming along nicely
What about the Tower Grove/Grand area near Tower Grove Park?
Lafayette Square
Soulard
Moolah Theatre and Bowling Alley (both with nice bars) The biggest freakin' movie screen I've ever seen.
(Funny how no one's mentioned Laclede's Landing or the Bowling Hall of Fame.)
The list of great places to eat in St. Louis is just too big. I have family that lives in Brooklyn Heights and they're hugely impressed with the number of excellent restaurants in Clayton/UCity/The Hill/Central West End, etc. We really do have a ton of stuff here.
Sorry for the late post on this one fellas.
-
Scott Faller's Basement - Adults only, please.
...admission is absolutely free as long as you bring single malt Scotch(s) :lol:
What about the Tower Grove/Grand area near Tower Grove Park?
During the summer, visitors can hear our own Mark Blackmore and his lovely wife Lisa play trumpet in the Compton Heights Concert Band (http://stlouis.missouri.org/501c/chband/) at the gazebo in Tower Grove Park.

If your up for drinks/food/music. . .spend the day in Soulard!!! (I lived there for 2+ years). Also, a great place to go to b/4 games. . .many bars have free shuttles (w/ free beer on the short treck). Also, a great place to go out b/4 going out to some other places nearby to catch some blues, like BB's or Broadway Oyster Bar (someone had mentioned BB's) :thumb: It's a mile from downtown.
The Pageant, on Delmar (by Washington University) is a great place to catch concerts. . .because it's nice and personal (sound isn't always top notch, however. . .plus, it's mostly a venue for rock/alternative/etc.) But, there are great restaurants and such on Delmar. (as Scott F. mentioned, Blueberry Hill). . .this area, like the Central West End, may seem a bit 'alternative' to many. . . .I don't feel like explaining that. They're good places to go to, period.
The Fox Theatre is a great place to catch some plays/comedy acts/concerts. Great venue all around. Great sound. In an article in Rolling Stone, Roger Waters (of Pink Floyd) said that The Fox was one of his favorite venues to play at. B/4 the concert, you can catch some good food at Vito's pizza on Lindell (my favorite pizza of all time). . . or, maybe take a stroll through the campus of my alma mater, Saint Louis University. Beautiful campus!!! :D
If you're up for a bit more trendy stuff in the city, there are plenty of bas/restaurants on Washington Ave for you, by the loft district. Wasabi has damn good sushi!
If you're a bit west of the city, Clayton is a good area to go out at, too. . .kinda like a bigger version of Washington Avenue.
In general, I don't like The Landing for some reason. . .somewhat touristy. . . .and somewhat a haunt for college peeps who live in STL, but don't go to school in STL. Not a horrible place, but usually last on my (and friends') list to go out at, etc. ALTHOUGH, The Big Bang is an exception. . .a fun piano bar, where the people know SOOOO many songs. . .you yell it out, they'll play it. Can be a fun time, for sure!

Thanks to everyone for their suggestions. Bob was kind enough to start this thread on my behalf. I've just been too busy to respond, but I really appreciate your help and input. We'll be heading to St. Louis this Friday through Sunday.
There's the St. Louis Jazz & Heritage Festival being held this weekend (http://www.saintlouisjazzfest.com/), but I'm figuring that we will be too busy trying to cram a week's worth of activities into 2.5 days.
We're staying down by the Landing, so I imagine we'll go to see the Arch -- isn't there some sort of legal requirement that we do so? :lol:
Will definitely visit the Zoo and the Art Museum. High likelihood we'll get to the Hill and the Loop. Ted Drewes is calling also -- I am curious about the whole 'custard' thing. If we can squeeze it in, the butterflies are on our (cramped) agenda a well.
Sunday morning we'll be attending services at the Cathedral Basilica, most likely. I'm not Catholic, but the Missus is, and I don't mind a good show in a fancy venue. :D
Haven't settled on dining options yet, but thanks to you folks I have good, viable alternatives in every part of the city.
So much to see and do.....we'll just have to make a second trip later on to catch most of it.
Thanks again,
-dB (a unit measure of noise)

Ted Drewes should be real high on the list. If they have it avail, the Apple Pie concrete is awesome.
there's a whole piece of pie in it...
I remember as a kid reading newspaper articles about how Mr. Drewe found & obtained all the ingredients for the treats. the guy is as obsessed about quality ingredients as we are about our rigs.
There's good people watching in the parking lot too.

Thanks to everyone for their recommendations. We had a lovely time in St. Louis. Pretty amazing how clean the whole place is. Mighty friendly folks, too. We managed to pack a few things into a 2.5 day weekend, including:
1. Blueberry Hill: I really enjoyed seeing Chuck Berry's guitar. Perhaps next time I'll catch one of his monthly shows there.
2. Ted Drewes: really enjoyed my Big Apple (Pie) Concrete. My wife ordered something like a tieremisu (sp?) custard that was somewhat tasty but a little weird. I'm glad I stuck with the (winner) apple pie desert.
3. St. Louis Zoo: what a treat. Great, great zoo. That it was free made it a total blast. BTW, who funds that so that they can forgo the admission charge? My wife really enjoyed the prairie dogs. We also had a great bonding experience with a chimp who used a provided mirror to chek his dental work (photos available upon request).
4. St. Louis Art Museum: about a 2 minute walk from the zoo and also impressive. After almost all day at the zoo, we were worn out by room after room after room of exhibits -- this place is huge!
5. Gian-Tonys: nice Italian food.
6. Basilica of St. Louis. Wow. Just wow.
7. The Arch. I thought this would be hokey, but it's a true engineering marvel, and the view from the top is impressive. Fun.
8. Several runs in the park around the arch with my faithful running partner, Fenway (Lab/Dane mix).
9. Lafayette Square: we went there for lunch today (Sunday). What a gorgeous little area. 5 minutes from downtown and all of those adorable not-so-little Victorian townhouses at affordable prices. Move that area to Chicago and those houses would go for 4-5x the asking price (around $250k). Lovely. Also, if you stop by the area, go to Sqwires and get a killer oatmeal raisin cookie ice cream sandwich. Just great.
Didn't get to see a Cards game which was my only lament. Drove by the stadium a couple times, however, and it really looks (from the outside) that they have done it up right and then some. I'm going to try to talk my buddy Jay (who lives in Milwaukee) to take a road trip back there to see a game.
Also, kudos to the Renaissance Hotel staff, who couldn't have been more accommodating to us who had a big dog in tow. Everyone was friendly and helpful and didn't seem to mind all that much when Fenway would protect our home (aka: the entire 15th floor) from intruders by letting out the "bark of thunder"(TM). :lol: Also, this was the first time he saw a horse-drawn carriage, with predictable results. However, by the end of the weekend, he was whining out the car window because he wanted to play with the "big dog". :roll:
All in all, a wonderful time was had. Congrats to you St. Louis residents -- you have a lovely city there. Now about that humidity..... aa
Best, -dB (a unit measure of noise)
-
Well, I'm very happy you and the Mrs. had a good time. I'm embarrassed to say the I have not been to most of the places you've been. :roll:
Regarding the funding of the Zoo; Large, LARGE amount of donations from private individuals and corporations. You can "adopt" an animal for a monthly/yearly fee. Although any particular animal may be "adopted" by hundreds of people. I don't know if local taxes are involved or not, but I wouldn't mind if they were. We are very proud to have the countries last free zoo. ("last" from my understanding).
And we still haven't figured out the whole humidity thing either. :scratch:
Bob
-
I know a thing or 2 as to 'why' the humidity is why it is...and also why, at times, it gets crazy late at night.
i'm from the East side, by all the corn. In addition to the mad amount of water in the area (the drink as we call it, the Mississippi) the corn stalks open up late at night and let out nearly a cup of water per stalk. In August when the crop is way bigger than knee-high, they can spit out nearly 2 cups...
The last summer I was home, '99 i think, if you walked outside at midnight it was even hotter and muggier than at high noon, or when the Sun was doin' its thing. For this, Chi-town is a breath of fresh of air. 8)
Glad to hear St. L is clean these days...that's an accolade I don't hear very often. While i was young the downtown area was desolate and darn near forgotten. I just wish i coulda bought up Washington St for pennies on the dollar way back when, i'd have a sweet stereo and be retired at 31!

There's a pretty good list here from St. Louis Magazine: http://www.stlmag.com/media/St-Louis-Magazine/May-2008/101-Things-Every-St-Louisan-Must-Do/ (http://www.stlmag.com/media/St-Louis-Magazine/May-2008/101-Things-Every-St-Louisan-Must-Do/)

I am a new member of this circle and, as such, don't have the possibility to create a new thread. Therefore I must jump on this thread to appeal to the classical music lovers in the St. Louis area to investigate the possible, and maybe probable, sale of Classic99, our only classical FM station in the region.
There was a story in last week's Post Dispatch covering this. I am hoping one of the older members will post this information on this site in order to drum up some opposition to the Lutheran Church selling this valuable station to a company that will surely broadcast sports, news or who knows what. I appeal to you folks to use this room to try to at least slow down this unheralded sale of a great station on the "sly".
Sorry for gloming this post. I apologize!
-
This is major. Although I don't listen to this station on a daily basis it is a St Louis institution and must be protected. We have more than enough crap talk stations. I'm going to do my best to put the word around and see what can be stirred up.
-
I was talking to a friend about this proposed sale. He told me that this is not the first time that the station has been put up for sale. The last time it came up the Mormon Church was looking in to buying it. One would hope that if the Mormons buy it then the classical format would remain.
-
My thanks to electric bear for his concern. I am trying to contact the Luteran Synod and lodge my complaint that this sale is even being suggested. As I understand it the Mormon church is a no show at this time. A David Strand at the synod seems to be in charge of this issue. They can be reached at 314-965-9000. All calls will probably be directed toward him. I have also been in touch with the Saint Louis Symphony Orchestra and they are also concerned. When I have more contact information, I will be back to you.
Again thanks for your help!!

Saint Louis has a very active 'old cars' club. Today they have this.
The Orphan Car Show at the History Museum in Forest Park Sunday, October 16, 2011
Once again the Missouri History Museum will be hosting the annual Orphan Car Show (10:00am - 3:00pm) featuring only orphan cars such as Hudson, Packard and Studebaker primarily, but other orphan makes are equally welcome. Admission is FREE!

Ruth's Chris is okay, but it has nothing on Porters Steakhouse across the river in Collinsville, check it out. Also a bit pricy, but well worth it. Get the pepperloin.
I usually go to Broadway Oyster Bar when I am in town, its not far from Busch Stadium. Also near the stadium is the Three Sixty bar, on top of the Hilton. Good place to grab a drink first.

"Milagro Modern Mexican" in Webster Groves.
Amazing Mexican food. I had what they (horribly) call "The Combo #64".
There are no other combos, so where the name came from I'll never know. But suffice it to say that it's some really fantastic Mexican food at a great price.
http://milagromodernmexican.com/
Just go, you can thank me later. :wink:

Webster Groves has 2 good mex places then. Nacho Mama's is fantastic.

I'm going for sure to one of the evening sessions. Anyone else interested?

Dressel's Public House
http://dresselspublichouse.com/
I'm a bit biased in this one. Ben Dressel is a customer of mine. That being said, his restaurant was featured on "Diner's Drive-In's and Dives" a couple years ago. At the time, I had no idea Ben was a restaurant owner, so you can imagine my surprise when Tina and I were watching and I saw a customers on one of my favorite TV shows. :o
After seeing the show, the next time Ben's wife came into my shop, I mentioned seeing Ben and their place on TV.
Fast-forward a couple years, I've now been to their place three times with my family. I must say that I'm VERY impressed. We don't go out to eat very often, and the "Central West End" is certainly not on our radar for places to patronize.
The slinger is amazing. Served in a cast iron bowl. Oh yea.
Bob
p.s.....Here's a couple links:

"Bump"
Was blown away at a restaurant this morning, and wanted to share the news.
The place is called "Rooster" (http://roosterstl.com/)... <-----(click that) :thumb:
They have indoor and outdoor seating. We went at 9:30am on a Sunday and sat outside. 30 minutes later, there was a line.
The place is large and airy, both inside but especially the outside areas. The personnel are wonderful. The prices are reasonable.
The wife and I both had a brunch "Slinger" which was amazing. More accurately, was AAMMMMAAZZZIINNGGG.
The place is full of 20 something and 30 something hipsters, whose native territory is the Central West End.
Those of you that know me, know that this is NOT my territory. Not even by a long shot.
But I'll tell ya what, I'll be going back to this place as soon as I can.
-
Bob, I'm glad you liked Rooster, because the wife, Liam and I thought the food was hideous. Her salade nicoise had a sweet vinagerette that was inappropriate, the andouille in my slinger was closer to kelbassa, the pepper sausage gravy was blase, and Liam didn't even like his pancakes. Maybe a bad day for the kitchen, but I would call it a disaster for as good as the venue was.
Another place to avoid is Joe Edwards' new Peacock diner on Delmar. Bad college food for midnight drunks is the term we seven came up with.
An ethusiastic thumbs up for LuLu's, the vegan place on south Grand, Excellent tastes, delightfully fresh, and cheap for the great quality!
-
Wow, powerful words! :o
But yea, either you had an "off" (bad) meal, or we had an "off" (great) meal. The only way to know would be for one of us to go again.
But I guess that'd be us. :lol:
-
My son studied at Wash U and I used to visit STL from India, while he was studying there. The Hill has some superb Italian family owned restaurants, and one dinner at Favazza's still lingers in my memory.
-
Yea, Rooster made it on to the list of ours you don't want to be on. It is a shame because it has the almost severe NYC setting that presages some good eats coming out of the kitchen...but they avoided our table!
Another great place if you like seafood is Peacemaker, in the 1800 block of Sidney down in Benton Park. They are a spinoff of Sidney Street Cafe, and very adeptly have created a good and simple seafood bistro. Their clam chowder is the best I have ever had, good liquor selections, crabcakes and lobster were fresh and tasty. As expected for a fresh fish concern in St. Louis, they were a little more expensive, but their quality, good service, and setting made it worth it.
-
For those who love fried chicken, there are some new eats in town.
Byrd & Barrel, on Jefferson at Cherokee, has by far the best fried cluck in town. Just a superb buttermilk bath, then a run through the spicy rub, and a dip in the fryer. Chicken heaven.
Gus's in Maplewood, on Manchester, is a solid second, although it is quite hot.
Southern, near slu on Olive, is good, but their mild crust is burning hot, and anything else is inedible. Their sides are also quite good.
-
Speaking of chicken, Waynes daughter (BOLDER Cables) took me to a chicken place downtown on Olive Street that had some great chicken.
The name of the place is simply called, "Southern".
Mmmm good stuff.
-
Interesting discussion. I just live a few blocks from Rooster. I like it, but have not been blown away -- while my meals there have been good, I think their opinion of themselves is slightly higher than my opinion of their food. Peacemakers is kind of the same thing; I've eaten there a couple of times and have yet to experience any magic.
There is a new Turkish restaurant at Grand & Humprhey. It is called "Sheesh". I've only eaten their once so far, but it was pretty good. Another I like is in the Lafayette Park neighborhood, on Park. Square One is a brew pub and their menu is a bit more creative than normal pub food -- lamb sloppy joes, an excellent spinach, chicken & cashew salad with a tasty Mayfair dressing, a tasty bratwurst burger, and others. Can't say anything about their beer as I don't drink.
-
Sheesh is quite good, with tasty soups, and the rice dishes are well prepared. The ladies will love the hammered copper plates and bowls.
-
Just wanted to give a shout out to my friends who own Vernon's bbq in the loop and Diva deserts in Columbia, IL.
-
I stopped in Belleville, IL on the way back to Carbondale. Had a delicious lunch at this place: http://www.beastcraftbbq.com
I have to say, it might have been the best restaurant BBQ that I have ever tasted. Surpassed my many tries in Texas.
They have a enormous selection of hand-picked meats, including the standard pork, but also brisket, turkey, chicken and lamb shank.
They try to stay natural and local, and their sauces are spectacular. Their fries are fresh cut.
Any of your Gassers every heard of Beast Craft BBQ!? They're about 2 years old. It's worth the drive from the St. Louis Metro area. I know
that I'll be back, even though it's 1 ½ hours from Carbondale. :drool:
-
I was in Belleville a week ago; sure wish I would have known about this place so I could sample some good BBQ. I'll try it next time I'm in the neighborhood.
PS. Hi Din, how's southern Illinois treating you????
-
I've been to Beast, and loved it. :thumb:
The brussel sprouts are amazing. Gotta say, as a carnivore, it takes a lot for me to give kudos to a place on their veggies.
That being said, I thought the meat (I got the "all encompassing platter") was very good. The waiter, passing by, actually corrected me on the way I was drinking my beer, and offered a better way. It's a small town place with a passion for BBQ/Smoking meat, that's for sure.
On a side note, my wife wasn't impressed. She said mine is just as good, and she didn't have to drive as far.
Take that for what's it's worth. :wink:

Hello Everyone,
I'm the new guy here. Names Justin. From St. Charles but lived in Benton Park and Soulard for 6 years and I know of a few places that some may not so here goes.
Peacemaker Restaurant
http://peacemakerstl.com/

Sidney Street Cafe
http://www.sidneystreetcafestl.com/
2000 Sidney St, St. Louis, MO 63104
Very nice and some of the best food I've ever had. The chef just won the "best chef in the Midwest" award from their academy. I take my wife here for anniversaries, it was our first date spot too. Expect to spend $100 each, it's worth it though.
Benton Park Cafe
http://www.bentonparkcafe.com/

This place.........is so...........AMAZING. It's not technically in the city buy jesus is the steak good.
-
Nice!
I don't get out that way very often. "Dressels Public House" is the only place I've found outside of my neighborhood that's "captured" my eye. I've thought about expanding my culinary horizons, but just haven't yet. :lol:
-
When you do expand, check out Marisco’s El Gato Mexican fish place on Gravois, Olive and Oak in Webster at Lockwood and Gore fo an anniversary, Byrd and Barrel on Jefferson at Cherokee for fried chicken. All superb.
-
Nixta and Luna’s little eats are great!
-
Went to "Mission Taco" the other day. HIGHLY recommended.
Tacos after 10:00pm are nearly half price. Extra points for the "Baja" tacos!
The corn fritters are simply amazing.
-
What no BBQ in Missouri ? Any local favorites ?
charles
-
For that ya gotta go to Bob's house. Been trying to get in there for years now.
Check his pics out and you'll see why.
Don
-
:lol: I've got a decent list of BBQ places, but yea.... My place is by far the best. :wink:
In case I'm not available, 'Sugarfire', and 'Pappys' are pretty high on the popular BBQ list.

Was through St. Louis several times last spring. Never made it to an Urban Chestnut Brewery but had some of their Stl. IPA. Awesome! Brought several 4 packs back but I'm out. If anybody is coming from that area to Louisville anytime I'll buy dinner (and the beer of course) if you want to bring some my way.

Try Salt & Smoke for STL bbq. Several locations and they are very good for sure.

I just looked at every pie from Sugarfire Pie.

Had dinner at Indo last night. One of the best meals I have ever had. Lives up to the hype. You won’t be disappointed.
