Located just minutes from Clayton, Forest Park is my absolute favorite spot in the city. Whether you’re in the mood for a peaceful morning walk or exploring world-class attractions, there’s something for everyone. You can tour the Saint Louis Art Museum, enjoy lunch at the Boathouse, play a round of golf, glide across Steinberg Skating Rink, or visit the famous Saint Louis Zoo. And if you’re craving a glass of wine afterward, head over to my go-to spot, Sasha's Wine Bar on DeMun.
The Central West End is one of St. Louis’s most charming neighborhoods and a personal favorite of mine. I love strolling down its tree-lined streets, grabbing a coffee at a local café, browsing furniture at Centro, or picking up a book at Left Bank Books. You can also catch a movie at the Chase Park Plaza or visit the Cathedral Basilica of St. Louis. Located across from Forest Park, the Central West End is a must-visit while you’re in the city.
Love beer or holiday lights? Stop by the Budweiser Brewery for a behind-the-scenes tour, visit the Clydesdales, or experience the light display. This is one of Maximillian’s favorite activities and also where our welcome party will be taking place!
The Missouri Botanical Garden has long been one of my favorite spots. Wander through the garden, explore the greenhouses, or enjoy the holiday light display.
Want to keep the party going on New Year's Eve? Dogtown and Soulard are perfect for barhopping, live music, and a truly local night out.
