Planning a visit soon! A little friendly advice???

[kristy247]

Hello all! I am planning a visit to St Louis possibly as early as this week. I have never been to St Louis, and would love any input you may have as to the best part of town to stay in, and likewise, where to avoid.

I like to take into account client convenience as opposed to my own selfish shopping and cocktail hour needs, so if you could offer suggestions, I would greatly appreciate it!

Thank you in advance for your help!

I have heard great things about the gentlemen of St Louis!

st louis guys are awesome!!

Have fun!

[naughtynatale]

We do have some real gentlemen here definitely

How about one of us taking you on a shopping spree and then to cocktails? I'm sure a great deal could be worked out.

Hounddog that sounds awesome! I will be there tomorrow!

If you're looking for great shopping, we have West County Mall, The Galleria, and for a very upscale experience, there is Plaza Frontenac which has Saks & Neiman. You'll find Nordstrom at West County Mall and there is a Nordstrom Rack down the street from the Galleria mall.

If you want to do something tourist-like, I'd suggest a trip to the City Museum. It's a great place & definitely offers something for everyone (not just for kids).

As far as dining, we have Ruth's Chris Steakhouse, Mortons, J. Bucks, and lot's of Sushi restaurants. I don't eat sushi, but a favorite among the locals is Miso in Clayton. http://misolounge.com/ I've been there and it's a really cool place.

Enjoy Saint Louis!

Stay away from these areas, vice will come knocking on your door in the morning.
Maryland Heights, Riverfront area.

I have stayed in Downtown & South ST. Louis hotels with no problem.
Just screen screen screen and you will be good to go!

Thanks so much, Ladies!

I love the City Museum!! I took a group of international officers there one day and we all had a blast! of course we linked it to a brewery tour to save our "man cards".

Just remember there are some nice gentlemen just down the road to the east as well.....unfortunately no shopping like STL though, but I can make up for that

[DallasRain]

the zoo is cool too!
{who says that you have to have a kid to go??? lol}

Hmmmmmmmmm now that last part would definitely make me forget the shopping part LOL

If I were doing a tour, I would stay downtown. If you need a list of non-key carded elevators downtown pm me. If you get tired of room service food there are 2 businesses that deliver food from many restaurants, All restaurants deliver and 529 dine.

The City Museum is a blast, just don't get frisky in the caves. They have cameras everywhere
