If you ever visit ST Louis
I'll just go ahead and post a St. Louis Visitor's Guide.
FOOD
Red got it right regarding food. There's nothing better than The Hill. This neighborhood is tucked in the corner of Interstate 44 and Kingshighway Blvd.
You can't go wrong when you dine anywhere here, but some places are pricier than others. I'll list some good ones (and their price level).
- Charlie Gitto's ($$$$)
- Dominic's ($$$$)
- Guido's Pizzeria ($)
- Favazza's ($$)
- Lorenzo's Trattoria ($$$)
- Rigazzi's ($$)
- Cunetto House of Pasta ($$)
- Joey B's ($$)
There really is no reason to eat anywhere else. You wont find better Italian food (or any food for that matter).
ATTRACTIONS
- Obviously we have the Arch. It's worth a go if you've always wanted to see it, but I've also lived here my whole life.
- The Anhueiser Busch Brewery Tour is a must for any beer lover. The tours are free and held during the day (usually until 5pm). It's worth it for the hospitality room at the end. St. Louis also has the Schlafley Brewing Co. This is over in St. Louis County in Maplewood. If you've never had a Schlafley, it's certainly worth a try.
- Forest Park is in the middle of the city much like New York's Central Park (but St. Louis size). Inside the park is an 18 hole golf course, the St. Louis Zoo, the History Museum, the Art Museum, Steinberg Ice Rink (one of only two outdoor rinks in St. Louis), and The Muny (which has wonderful shows during the summer). It's a wonderful family destination.
NIGHT LIFE
- I'm not going to list any individual bars or clubs here, but there are plenty of areas to spend your night out. Look them up on google maps, I'm too lazy to post the street names.
-Laclede's Landing
-The Delmar Loop
-Soulard
-Tower Grove South
-Washington Street
-The Grove (if that's how you roll)
Hope this helps some. There's a lot more, but I'm starting to lose focus. It should be enough to get you started.

Hopefully, we could catch y'all at the beginning of the year, so that I could get a Cardinals game in as well.

My main regret when I lived in Dogtown, was not taking advantage of Forest Park

My cousin runs a bar there

Fun part of town

-Tower Grove South
Is this where Friendly's is? I loved that place. Dirt cheap draft beer.
And I still love me some Schlafly.
eta: To support Mizzou to the SEC, I'm currently drinking out of a Harpo's cup.
