Soulard and Lafayette Square

The iconic Soulard neighborhood and Lafayette Square will make you feel like you’re walking through New Orleans. The architecture resembles the French Quarter and Garden District while the bar scene is Bourbon Street-esque. Cajun flavors can be found at restaurants throughout these neighborhoods but there are also a few St. Louis institutions. After admiring the architecture, enjoying the food and drink offered by the neighborhood you can visit the Soulard Farmers Market or learn about history that has been brewing in St. Louis since 1852 at Anheuser-Busch.  

Midtown, Shaw and South Grand

The center of St. Louis entertainment can be found on North Grand in Midtown, with the Fabulous Fox Theatre and St. Louis Symphony Orchestra anchoring this area surrounded by Saint Louis University. A cultural and culinary center of St. Louis can be found in the South Grand Dining District, which is just steps away from Tower Grove Park. Use one of Metro’s new electric buses on the #70 Grand to explore South Grand. Shaw is sleepy neighborhood on the north side of Tower Grove Park and is also home to the Missouri Botanical Garden.

Delmar Loop

As a neighborhood that merges the relaxed feel of a college town and the hustle of a big city, the Delmar Loop has plenty to offer. It’s home to legendary hangout Blueberry Hill, record stores, vintage clothing shops, must-see music venues The Pageant and Delmar Hall, the “unique boutique” Moonrise Hotel and more.
