Clothes: +1 on Sam Cavato - Sam is a great guy and his shop is very nice. Food: +1 on Cunetto's...as well as Gian-Tonys and Giovannis which are all located on "The Hill" My favrotie restaurant in the area though has to be eleven eleven it is excellent. Neat Spots: Washington Avenue (close to Lacledes landing...I wouldn't recommend going to Lacledes landing) Lafayette Square +1 Central West End

How could I forget Toasted Ravioli...for the best Toasted Ravioli go to Farottos on Manchester Blvd. in Rock Hill.

Been many years since I actually stopped in St. Louis for more than a change of planes, but how about dinner on one of the dinner theatre boats? If they still have them that is.

I was there recently for the first time but didn't venture outside the hotel. I was feeling crappy and the weather was crappy, too. I missed out on good eating and shopping.

i can't say i have had it in St. Louis, but even the one I had at my college dorm in the middle of nowhere IL was delicious. I bet the stuff you can find in St.Louis is out of this world.

If you like baseball, do your best to catch a Cardinals game.

Having just returned from Northern Italy, frankly, Cunetto's is a very, very, veeeery far removed cousin. I was there last Thursday, it's all about atmosphere, less so for the menu items, fun place nonetheless. And in the same "atmosphere" line of thought: Ted Drewes' frozen custard.

 

[acidboy]

Yeah, Ted Drewe's hype is justified. They even have lines in the middle of winter.
