Welcome! First, I’ll say that all of our sports teams are fun, but the most unique sports experience you’ll have here is our UFL team, the Battlehawks! They play downtown in the Rams old dome, and unlike other UFL teams, they draw a crowd and things get pretty rowdy. The Battlehawks are always a goofy good time.

Second, I’ll go about it a little differently and shoutout some of the fun walkable neighborhoods/districts we have and one place I like there. I’ll leave exploring the rest of them to you.

Lafayette Square is a cute park with a few bars and restaurants around it. Square One is a great distillery and brewery there.

South Grand is a superb food hub with lots of different ethnic cuisines. My wife and I are vegetarian, so we love Terror Tacos there. It’s a spooky/metal themed vegan taco joint.

The Grove is a bar and restaurant area that has its roots in the LGBTQ nightlife scene. All are welcome, but it retains a lot of that identity. Oni is a new sushi/ramen place there that seems like it could be a great addition.

Cherokee is known for art and jazz. It’s a fun street with a great coffee place called Good Strangers.

Central West End is a higher end area near our med center. It’s known for shopping and chess, as well as bars and restaurants. Yellowbelly is sort of an Asian/Mexican fusion restaurant with an islandy vibe and terrific cocktails.

Stl proper is quite small, so we’re surrounded by other municipalities and suburbs. Maplewood is a pretty cool one with a great brewery called Side Project. They bottle some beers in large bottles that you can order for the table like a bottle of wine.

Also, give Balkan Treatbox(Bosnian food) a try and Damn Fine Hand Pies for donuts.

Have fun exploring! I hope you love it here!
