Welcome to Jen’s stomping grounds! This historic Italian-American neighborhood is where she grew up—and where some of the best Italian food in the city lives. Grab a cannoli, a plate of pasta, or just soak in the charm of the red-brick homes and old-school corner markets. Our favorites include DiGregorio’s Market, Anthonino’s Taverna, Pizzeria da Gloria and Favazza’s. While you’re in the neighborhood, swing by The Hill Neighborhood Center—part of The Hill Neighborhood Association, where Jen proudly serves as president!
Larger than Central Park, this urban oasis is perfect for any kind of adventure you’re looking for! Whether it’s a stroll around the park, playing a round of golf, visiting the Saint Louis Art Museum or the Missouri History Museum. A visit to Forest Park is never complete without a visit to the world famous Saint Louis Zoo. The Penguins are the best and the Zoo is always ranked in the top 5 in the United States!
Explore the Saint Louis Art Museum, a must-see in Forest Park. From ancient artifacts to modern masterpieces, it’s the perfect spot to wander, get inspired, and soak up some culture while you're in town.
You can’t come to St. Louis and not stop at the Brewery, plus Jen was tour guide here the summers of college! Sip on fresh brews, see the iconic Clydesdales and take a behind-the-scenes tour of this historic brewery.
If the Brewery isn’t your style, visit the next best thing - Grant’s Farm! The Farm is a fun, family-friendly experience where you can get up close with animals and explore historic grounds once owned by Ulysses S. Grant, and even enjoy a complimentary beer in the Bauernhof courtyard. It’s a unique blend of history, nature, and nostalgia that’s perfect for all ages.
