Daphne & Kevin Are Getting Married!
Our Favorite Places
The Arch
A must for visitors. Did you know you can take a very tiny elevator up the Arch for a great view of downtown Saint Louis? We recommend making a reservation ahead of your visit.
Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis
Daphne highly recommends...Kevin does not.
Saint Louis Zoo
We love the zoo! It's where we took our engagement photos too. Located in Forest Park it has amazing exhibits and the animals are usually pretty active and visible!
Forest Park
Museums, the Zoo, Golf and More! We love going to Forest Park during the Spring, Summer and Fall. There are always great events going on and we love attending our outdoor dance aerobics class in the pavilions led by friends!
Grant's Farm
We love Grant's Farm. In fact, Kevin took Daphne here on their second date. He actually skipped half of his Saturday class for it! It is a bit out of the way, but worth the 20 minute drive to interact with the animals.
Donut Drive In
Our favorite donuts.
Taco Buddha
We love this place and it's super close to Clayton. For breakfast we recommend the Chorizo, Egg, and Cheese Tacos or the Blue Bonnet. If you're there for lunch they have great margaritas and Daphne loves the Thai Pork Tacos.
Cate Zone Chinese Cafe
Best Chinese Food in St. Louis. We recommend the Sweet and Sour Pork, Fired Rice and Sour Rice Cabbage Noodles. The restaurant itself is very small so be prepared to wait!
Cocina Latina
The only restaurant that serves Peruvian Cuisine in Saint Louis. We recommend ordering Lomo Saltado, Aji de Gallina, Papa Rellena and Anticuchos. If you have room for dessert we love the Picarones and you should try the Peruvian drink, Pisco Sour!
Lola Jean's
This is a cute little cafe we like to go to for brunch.
Russell's on Macklind
Also great for brunch and a sister restaurant to Lola' Jeans. We recommend checking out their pastry case!
Carnivore
If you want to check out The Hill, St. Louis' historic Italian neighborhood, Carnivore is a great place for brunch or dinner. You can usually get in and out of there fairly quickly and enjoy a great meal. We like the Steak Sandwich, featuring the St. Louis favorite, Provel cheese and some authentic Toasted Raviolis.
The Last Kitchen & Bar
Great food and a very pretty hotel. Previously a shoe manufacturing plant, this hotel is great for grabbing a bite to eat when downtown. The fried pickled veggies and steak sandwich are our go-to's. Make sure to check out the rooftop if it's open too, the site of many daph. photoshoots!
Narwhal's Crafted
This is a fun spot with a large outdoor patio that turns into a camping setting in the colder months. You can get boozy and regular slushies and frozen drinks here.
Taste
This is where we had our first date. Daphne said she would only stay for one drink, but ended up staying for two! Great for appetizers and unique drinks.
