Food Scene
If you like St. Louis style this crust pizza, this is a good spot to get it. They have lots of diner type items. Ample portions at a good price. (Warning: there is a smoking section in the diner, so if cigarette smoke bothers you this might not be the place for you.)

There is nothing like the City Museum. It is my kid's favorite place to go to in St. Louis. Climb, explore, do art, circus performances...honestly, you just need to experience it to understand. Quirky and fun!
