| Blackthorn Pub & Pizza |
| Without a doubt Black Thorn Pizza is the best neighborhood bar in Tower Grove. Just a couple blocks off Grand, Black Thorn has the most amazing pizza with a uniqely spicy sauce - AND Air Hockey |
| Left Bank Books |
| Sadly the list of independent books stores is getting smaller and smaller, but Left Bank manages to stay open and provide us with many author signings and book talks. |
| Soulard Farmer's Market |
| Fresh food! Along with an interesting mix of people. |
| Hartford Coffee Company |
| I love that I can walk here from my house - just a short jog across Tower Grove Park. They have a community guitar, a play place for kids, a community cork board and a water bowl for dogs. The neighborhood supports Hartford and Hartford supports the neighborhood! This is perfect example of what St. Louis is about. |
| King Louie's |
| A hidden treasure! There's nearly nothing around it, yet it is a destination for many. Amazing wine, simple but complex food and impeccable service. |
| El Burrito Loco |
| Home of the greatest vegetarian burrito in town, the size of small child - homemade guacamole, beans, rice sour cream jalapenos in a flour tortillia. |
| Missouri Botanical Garden |
| Nestled in a beautiful neighborhood of St. Louis called Southwest Gardens, this place is perfect for learning or just relaxing. |
| The City Museum |
| This has quickly become the must see place when visiting St. Louis! A growing collection of urban artifacts and one of the most unique uses of urban space in the country. |
| Bailey's Chocolate Bar |
| My long time friend David Bailey recently took over The Chocolate Bar, a St. Louis original - and revitalized the concept to make it a more viable and comfortable establishment. He arguably has the best imported beer selection in the city and the atmosphere and service make you want to stay forever and savor your evening. |
| Pomme Restaurant |
| Hands down the BEST food in the city. It's hard to find this kind of quality anywhere else in the city. St. Louis needs more places like this! |
| Laumeier Sculpture Park |
| Contemporary sculptures hidden in trails throughout acres and acres of woods, Laumeier place is unlike anything else and a perfect place to spend a sunny afternoon. |
| Rooster Cafe |
| The best crepes in the city! |
