Things to do

Saint Louis Zoo

One of the greatest zoos in the country. If you have a few hours to kill, this is a great way to do it!

St. Louis Aquarium at Union Station

Although we haven't had a chance to check it out since moving to California, we have heard nothing but great things about the aquarium.

The Arch

You can't miss seeing and getting a picture at the arch while you are new in town.

City Museum

A truly unique place to visit.

Blueprint Coffee

Snag a cup of coffee and venture across the road to Donut Drive In!

Benton Park Cafe & Coffee Bar

A great breakfast/brunch spot tucked away in one of our favorite neighborhoods.

Southwest Diner

Luke's favorite breakfast cafe in town. If you are really hungry...or hungover, order the Rocket to Baconland.

Rooster

Another great breakfast/brunch spot. The biscuits + gravy or any of the scrambles are a great place to start on the menu.

Donut Drive In

Since our favorite donut shop will be featured at our reception, we'd love to suggest our 2nd favorite donut spot in town. While you are there, swing by Blueprint for a cup of coffee!

La Pizza

Hands down, this is our favorite pizza spot in St Louis. Get there early, because when they run out of dough, they are out for the night!

Crown Candy Kitchen

It's a venture into old St Louis, but Crown Candy is a staple. Order a shake and their BLT. You won't be disappointed!

Gioia's Deli

The Hill is Luke's old "stomping ground" and he highly recommends lunch at Gioia's Deli.

Ted Drewes Frozen Custard

The St. Louis icon... If you want ice cream while you are in town, look no further.

Gelato Di Riso

If you do visit The Hill, this is a must-stop if you have a sweet tooth.

Blues City Deli

Some of the best sandwiches in town! Give the 7th Street Sicilian a try!

The Dam

A small, off the beaten path, burger spot, sure to please anybody needing something to cure their hangover from the reception.

Adam's Smokehouse

Luke's favorite BBQ spot in St Louis. If they have chicken wings or ribs available, ORDER THEM.

Mission Taco Joint - Historic Soulard

One of our favorite tacos spots in town in a really fun neighborhood.

Seoul Taco

A killer spot for fusion tacos. Try the steak or pork (both) tacos. You can't go wrong.

Anheuser-Busch St. Louis Brewery

You can't visit St Louis without stopping by AB for a beer and experiencing their famous beer garden.

2nd Shift Brewing

This spot is near Luke's old house. Give the Art of Neurosis or Little Big Hop a try.

The Hideaway

If cheap beer and elderly people singing around a keyboard is your thing, then this bar is for you. If you want to have a story to tell when you go back home, spend a night at the Hideaway.

Urban Chestnut Grove Brewery and Bierhall

John D. McGurk's Irish Pub and Garden

Cherokee Street

Loaded with great shops and food, Cherokee is an awesome place to explore.

The Grove

A funky little neighborhood filled with great bars and places to grab food.
