Food Scene
Great BBQ but can get very busy. I always have to have the Baby Back Ribs. Very busy weekend nights so might be best to check them out for lunch or during the week early. www.theshavedduck.com/

Don't let the long line out the door scare you this place move's people in and out quickly. It's a favorite lunch place for locals. I like Mike's Spicy Beef N Cheddar and the Chicken Shack Ranch. http://www.bluescitydeli.com/

One of Saint Louis's newest venues. Easily one of the biggest TV's I've ever seen to watch sporting events. I like to take friends from out of town here on an off day so that it's not too crowded.

Gotta be loving that so many attractions are free in St. Louis including our Zoo. Recently voted as America's top free attraction. Leave the car near Tamm Dr and Oakland and walk across the highway bridge to avoid paying for parking.
