They serve Kaldi's coffee and you'll never feel guilty enjoying a Bloody Mary on weekday. I usually go with the huevos rancheros, but anything you try I can guarantee you will enjoy. Check out the old school bus out back!

Acero has creative Italian food, in a comfortable atmosphere. The Fregola and Egg Ravioloi are amazing. You seldom see white anchovies on a menu but Acero has them. The $35 menu is a value.

The food here is fantasticI You can't beat the Tuesday $10 beer, bourbon, and burger deal. They make what is probably my favorite burger in town. I've had several other things from the menu as well and have never been disappointed. Service has always been great for me.

Hi-Pointe Drive-In is a great burger/sandwich joint. You order at the counter and they bring the food to your table. Try a shake, I was sucking strawberry chunks through the wide straw. Very yummy!

This new addition to the Maplewood's small business joint is a breath of fresh air. Though it offers some duck breast options, you can get other things like burgers or chicken. It also has lunch specials, including on weekends.

Robata is a go to place for sushi and ramen. They have a variety of vegetarian options, including veggie broth. Small on the inside but has a good sized patio if the weather is right. So this is what you do when you come in: 1) Choose the cut of noodles (regular = no surcharge) 2) Choose Chicken, Veggie, or Pork Broth. If you can't and don't eat pork, this is one of the few options in STL to get a non-pork broth. They also can give you pulled chicken - instead of pork slices. 3) Choose (Salt vs. Soy Base, light broth vs. dark broth) 4) Add any optional toppings. Free toppings are Nori (Seaweed) and fried garlic. Do this.

Everything Else

This is a St. Louis must! Somewhere between a museum and a playground, the City Museum's structures and art pieces are very creative and made from recycled materials. This place is great for people of all ages. Here's some tips: 1. Do the outside stuff early in the morning. 2. Wear knee pads or pants 3. For the caves, you may want a headlamp or flash light to give your kiddos. 4. Do the rooftop at least once.

1) Get a table 2) Get wrist bands from the host that link to your credit card. What happens if you want to pay in cash? You still need a CC on file, but you may do so at the end. 3) Walk about and tap the monitors to learn about the beer and wines. 4) If you want some eats, you order at the coal oven area- but they will bring it out to you with a number to put on your table. 5) Check-out/cash-out with the host when you are finished at the very end. One really neat thing they do is pay their servers a real salary. So none of the tip goes to the servers. Instead, your tip goes directly to a non-profit that they are supporting that month.
