Food Scene

Quick and easy fast casual Filipino. My favorite thing to order is the flying pig! They started out as a top food truck in the area, at $12 or less it is super popular.

My favorite BBQ place in St. Louis, I have ate here well over 75 times in the 10 years since they have opened! Located in the Soulard neighborhood, you can find some of the top 10 rated ribs in all of the country right here! All smoked meats are excellent paired with their beans that cook under. The only reason I have not been here 100+ times is because they are closed on Sundays, arrive early they sell out daily!

Do you like hot Nashville fried chicken? This is your place! Located near St. Louis University in midtown in the same building as Pappy's Smokehouse and Center Ice brewery you can't miss it. My favorite thing to order is the hot tenders with green beans and mac & cheese. The menu says hot will make your lips burn until you sweat but says the cluckin hot may burn the next day!

Drinks & Nightlife

An awesome place I have recently discovered! This bar is in the basement of a building built in the late 1800s. The cozy bar is very amazing with high ceilings, extremely old wooden beams, and a great atmosphere. The speakeasy type of bar has many local beers on tap, a small selection of spirits, and a few places within walking distance nearby to visit as well. Plus they have a large patio outside with a nice view of the city! Check it out!

Parks & Nature

30 minutes from your Airbnb, this park is an excellent place for a moderate hike along the Meramec River. If you chose the long route be sure to be aware of a large grand staircase that can be tough for some. The park has some very great views of the river from about 200 feet high.
