One of my favorite restaurants in the area- Prasino! This place is a farm to table restaurant that is great for brunch, lunch, or dinner, you cannot go wrong! From flatbreads, tacos, sushi, to burgers- they still manage to do it all well. Don't forget to grab a seasonal cocktail- they are some of the best!

One of my absolute favorite places in St. Louis is the City Museum. Made from recycled materials from glass, wood, metal, to buses and airplanes, don't let the name fool you. This is more of a giant playground that both kids and adults will love! It is a massive exhibit that allows you to crawl through the structures, slide down them, squeeze through them, and if you aren't afraid of heights- crawl through above the ground. There is a ferris wheel on the roof, along with a bus and an airplane to walk through and explore. You could spend days here and still have more to explore for your next visit! There is also a bar and food available, so you don't ever need to leave :)
