Things To Do
Soulard Farmers Market
Even if you don't plan to cook anything, this is worth checking out for the vibe alone. You can stroll around with a Bloody Mary and look at all the people and dogs who come on Saturday morning.
Forest Park
If you have never been to St. Louis, you should check out the top of Art Hill and the Boathouse restaurant.
The Silver Ballroom
Around the corner from our house. Punk Rock Pinball Bar with a great jukebox, great cocktails and now a delicious Korean/Pizza restaurant inside!
Robust Wine Bar
Webster Groves is a heartbreakingly beautiful inner-ring historic suburb on the near south side of St. Louis. Robust is a locally owned wine bar in historic WG that is not only fun and delicious but accessible to people who have all types of expertise.
Castlewood State Park
Castlewood is a great hike that's right inside St. Louis County It has a great view of the Meramec River Valley!
Left Bank Books
This is a no-brainer! The best bookstore in St. Louis. Cat-friendly, independent and a champion of local authors.
The Vino Gallery
A very chill shop where you can buy wine by the bottle to take home or enjoy at the store while you read, watch music videos and hang out with friends.
Landmark's Tivoli Theatre
The iconic Tivoli theater is a St. Louis treasure. It shows mainstream and more artsy movies and throwback cinema. The last movie we saw here was Free Solo!
Busch Stadium
11x World Champs
Ferguson Brewing Company
St. Louis has a million microbreweries, but I would recommend checking out the north side -- there's a ton of gems that don't get enough credit, including this one in historic downtown Ferguson!
Cahokia Mounds State Historic Site
Cahokia Mounds site of a Native American settlement that existed around AD 1100-1300, across the river from St Louis near present day Cahokia, IL. There is a museum and you can walk the grounds and mounds of this Illinois State Historic Site.
Missouri Botanical Garden
This is a beautiful academic and research garden in St Louis right by Tower Grove Park. One could spend 2-3 hours here learning about plants, and viewing the natural and curated landscapes.
