The biggest urban park in the world! We are so fortunate to live across the street from "the park." So much to do! Our favorites include the St. Louis Art Museum (free), Missouri History Museum (free), St. Louis Zoo (free), Science Center (free) and visitor's center (free, home of a great playground). Or just take a drive or walk through the park!
We love to visit the grounds of the Arch, which has beautiful walking trails and a great museum underneath. We cannot recommend taking the tram to the top of the arch, because we are both afraid of heights and have never been up.
One of Jeanne's favorites and a great indoor activity. See an extensive display of tiny objects, including houses, mansions, farms, etc. lovingly crafted by members the St. Louis community. Jeanne sees making miniatures as a future retirement project.
Our favorite happy hour spot, just a few blocks from our apartment. Get the cacio e pepe and the fries, of course!
Our favorite restaurant, just down the street from our middle school. Jonathan gets the buffalo chicken wrap and Jeanne gets the brisket sandwich. Mac and cheese and fries are a must.
Jeanne and Jonathan's favorite sandwich spot. Open for lunch, dinner, or a late night bite. Jeanne gets the Frenchy and Jonathan gets the General Patton.
Another "hometown" spot just down the street from Jeanne and Jonathan's middle school. Open for breakfast and lunch only. Great salads, sandwiches, soups, bread, baked goods, etc.
Grab a beer and a bite at this traditional Bierhall in one of our favorite neighborhoods. Jeanne likes the Schnickelfritz.
Another go to spot in our neighborhood!
THE St. Louis destination for frozen custard. Be sure to get a concrete and sit in the trunk of your car while you eat it in the parking lot.
A St. Louis chain restaurant serving roast beef and other sandwiches. Jeanne's favorite quick meal! Multiple locations.
The cutest gift shop in the cutest neighborhood, Webster Groves!
