These are some of my local favorites and recommendations I've received from prior guests, but do ask around while you're here. St. Louis is full of great places to eat and things to see and do.
Great Bosnian fusion food and it's right on the corner. Note: this place has opened up as a Karen's Diner. Be sure you read up on this experience before deciding if it's for you.
