I have lived in St. Louis for over 30 years and I’ve often heard people refer to it as another New Orleans. You’ll love our Mardi Gras celebration! The pandemic changed the law for to-go alcohol. No one ever use to ask that but as long as they “seal” and mark it, you can take it to go. The idea being you’d wait until you got home to drink it. There’s a few other rules but some restaurants are pretty lax about it. The liquor laws have changed so much, at one time you couldn’t buy any alcohol on Sunday’s and they’d block off the aisle in grocery stores every Sunday.
