Things To Do
Union Station
This newer STL gem has a large outdoor area with a ferris wheel, put-put golf and a Budweiser beer truck with picnic tables. There is also an amazing indoor area with a large lounge, bar, and coffee shop. Last but not least, there's a brand new aquarium!
4 Hands Brewing Co
A favorite local brewery of ours, their City Wide Pale Ale is notoriously St. Louis. The large upstairs room boasts skeeball and other fun games as well as big TV screens for #SPORTS.
City Museum
It's hard to describe how incredible this place is, so you'll have to see for yourself. Part museum, part jungle, part whale's mouth, and part circus, this legendary work of art is sure to awe folks of all ages. While kids go nuts here, adults love it too.
Forest Park
Home to the 1904 World's Fair, this park is an absolute St. Louis gem. It boasts the Zoo, History and Art Museums, Jewel Box, World's Fair Pavilion, Boathouse and 1,326 acres (bigger than Central Park in NYC!) of lush goodness. It's perfect for a stroll (or scooter).
The Gateway Arch
You probably know what this is. What you may not know is that there is a cool museum underneath!
Lona's Lil Eats
Casual, affordable, vegan-friendly joint serving Asian-fusion fare, this place is the BEST. The head chef, a family friend, was recently a semi-finalist for the James Beard best chef of the Midwest award. Pro-tip: get the dumplings. Our favorite main is the smoked brisket on glass noodles with Lona-Q sauce. SO GOOD.
Balkan Treat Box
Named one of the best new restaurants of 2019, this casual eatery has flavors as you've never experienced. Have you ever had Balkan food?? Don't be intimidated if there's a line, this place usually has one because it's truly unbelievable and worth the short trek.
OLIO
Delicious Mediterranean food. Best for smaller group sizes and a reservation is a good idea.
Sugarfire Smoke House
There is debate around the best BBQ joint in St. Louis, but this has got to be at the top of the list. The boozy milkshakes and awesome sides don't hurt.
Urban Chestnut Midtown Brewery and Biergarten
This local brewery would be a great stopover between events. It has an amazing outdoor Biergarten if we luck out on good weather.
