Neighborhood of the month:

LAFAYETTE SQUARE Lafayette Square is one of St. Louis' Victorian-era treasures, its beautiful mansions the setting for the musical classic Meet Me in St. Louis. The neighborhood's resurgence in the past decade is something that gets people all over singing its praises. » - Tara Pham

PLAYBOOK

Embark on a tour de bars at any hour in Lafayette Square. Catch a Cardinals game over an icy brew at the playfully quirky Lafayette Fire Company No. 1 (1). For a seventh inning stretch, step over to Square One Brewery & Distillery (2). There, you can pair a divine Burger of the Week with a house cask ale, seated in a lovely patio originally designed by the building’s ex-owner and City Museum founder, the late Bob Cassilly.

1

Cross the street for an after-dinner bottle of wine and live music set at SqWires (3). Before you head home, sip on a strong mint chocolate martini for a nightcap at Bailey’s Chocolate Bar (4).

2

The next morning, walk it all off with man's best friend through the beautiful Lafayette Park, stopping in Four Muddy Paws (5) for healthy dog treats and grooming services. Then, peruse amazing glass, jewelry, and other artisan crafts in the Fabrication Arts Center (6). Conclude your morning with a soul-soothing java and mouthwatering gooey butter cake from Park Avenue Coffee (7).
