Things To Do

Kaldi's Coffee

Coffee shop down the street from the Ritz Carlton hotel. Great for coffee, great pastries, and snacks.

City Coffee & Creperie

A great breakfast / lunch spot in Clayton. Fantastic crepes, and salads! A must go to if you have time.

Sportsman's Park Restaurant & Bar

This is a local favorite sports bar where Carly and the Rosenthal's are regulars. The BEST place for a good wrap/salad/burger/wings!! Carly's favorite = BBQ Chicken Wrap & Curly Fries

Companion Bakery & Cafe

Another local spot (in Ladue), famous for it's incredible sandwiches & salads, and owner is Bravo's Andy Cohen's cousin! Tip: Order To Go, this place gets packed!

Pastaria Deli & Wine

Great spot close to the Ritz for lunch/sandwiches!

Half & Half

Half & Half is a great breakfast, lunch and brunch destination in Clayton. It's a quick 5 min drive/uber from the Ritz, or a 20 min walk!

Box Hill Grocer

Box Hill is a small, gourmet neighborhood grocery and specialty food market. Known for their breakfast burritos and sandwiches, as well as soups, salads, pastries, and other grab-and-go foods!

Anheuser-Busch St. Louis Brewery

Enjoy the best draft Bud Lite you've ever tasted - I swear it tastes different!

The Gateway Arch

Check out the iconic Gateway Arch and if you're feeling really spontaneous, take a tram ride to the top of the Gateway Arch, a 630-foot monument and national park. It takes four minutes to ascend to the top where small windows reveal spectacular views of the Old Courthouse, downtown St. Louis and beyond to the west, and the Mississippi River and Illinois to the east.

Forest Park

One of my favorite places to go in St. Louis and where I do many of my "casual" walks when home! This spot has something for everyone - beautiful greenery, lakes, and over 30 miles of walking and biking trails, plus tennis courts and pickleball courts. It’s also home to several world-class attractions (most of them free), including the Saint Louis Zoo, Art Museum, History Museum, and Science Center. Perfect for fresh air, sightseeing, or working off breakfast/lunch!

Drybar St. Louis - Clayton

Lusso

Cute boutique next to the Ritz Carlton Hotel!

Plaza Frontenac

Forget something when packing? Plaza Frontenac has it all - best shopping center in St. Louis.

Ballpark Village

Want to spend the afternoon checking out the St. Louis sports scene? Take an Uber to Ballpark village next to Cardinals Stadium.

Boathouse at Forest Park

Feeling like you need to exercise but don't want to hit the gym? Take out a Paddle Boat and a beer to explore St. Louis's treasure. Don't miss a glimpse of the World's Fair Pavilion and Art Museum on your adventure as you paddle away!

Forest Park Golf Course

If you're a golfer, this is a great public course to check out! It features 3 9-hole courses & practice facilities, plus a shop & a restaurant.
