the "hot" areas, as you can probably tell, are (in no particular order) Clayton, the Delmar Loop, the CWE,
South Grand, Maplewood, the edge of Tower Grove North (AKA the Grove and Botanical Heights) some parts of Benton Park and Soulard, but there are quirky places in almost every nabe. even South Hampton is sporting a few cool places.
it used to be mostly a few stuffy traditional 'continental' places, a few innovative ones, a lot of middle-of-the-road, a huge number of great mom and pop places of many nationalities and just chains. now all bets are off and one can find various permutations of most of all those categories in all corners of the area, in the city or the suburbs, from Cottlesville to Collinsville and Grafton to beyond Affton.
what part of the region is your family considering and what cuisine are you the most confident cooking?
