One of my favorite date night/ special occasion dinner places.

Kitties and coffee. Reservations recommended.

Favorite and best brunch spot.

Really fun cocktails and they just announced they are doing more food.

Artisanal pastries, bakeries, sandwiches and confections from an award-winning and James Beard-nominated baker.

A second outpost of the downtown burger place — it’s bigger than it looks from the outside. They play Disney movies inside so kid friendly.

Super cute coffee shop.

Real cute independent bookstore. They also have a lot of fun pop culture cards, stickers, candles for sale.

The buttermilk waffle cones make this my favorite ice cream shop.

Best bagels. They sell sandwiches and bagels with spreads (cream cheese, butter).

Great, independent bookstore. Used books for sale in the basement too.

Fun place for drinks and charcuterie.

My favorite St. Louis burger place, mostly because of the homemade ketchup.

The vibes here are great. The toasts are amazing.

Small plates, cocktails, fun space.

Fancier date night/celebration place.

Get the breakfast sandwich.

Brewhall with beers and snacks -- the pizza is good, and so are the fries and pretzels.

Nice outdoor space. Beers are good and so are the burgers, fries and pretzels.

Favorite pizza place.

My favorite fast-casual restaurant, perfect for a quick lunch.

The sammichs are my favorite.

Mmmm, chicken.

Another great BBQ place.

My favorite bakery in town, but has limited hours. Everything is good.

Great BBQ place in historic Soulard, right near the Soulard Market.

My favorite is the chicken salad sandwich. Or pretzel with mustard. Or just bread with salted and whipped butter.

My favorite St. Louis burger place. Also obsessed with the homemade ketchup.

The first and only Afghan restaurant in the entire state of Missouri! The chicken teeka masala is my favorite.

Nitro ice cream! Also in the winter the hot chocolate is decadent but amazing.
