St. Louis
Real Stepmoms. Biased Reviews.
Our Summer picks for The Lou.
So, now that my therapist has encouraged you to get away, I’m going to ask you to be patient (don’t pack your bags and abandon the family just yet). We’re still compiling all the best escapes for The Lou.
Remember, your top picks make the list!
-
A St. Lou friend of a friend says, “I just threw a mani/pedi spa day party here. You can bring champagne, and it’s an adorable place to go with a bunch of girlfriends.”
BEST GIRLS NIGHT OUT: Barcelona
-
A lively tapas bar is a great place to gather with your gal-pals. Order a variety of small plates to share and then get busy in conversation. This is how Barcelona explains the tapas experience, “The primary purpose of tapas is to talk to friends, to share the gossip of the day.” I think this says it all.
BEST DINNER OUT WITH YOUR MAN: Sydney Street
-
Several women confirmed that this is the place to go with your man, so I’m taking their word for it. I notice that wines are a reasonable seven bucks a glass. I think that’s a good place to start. You will dine in a century old storefront building with exposed brick walls and an atrium full of light. Judging from the pics on their site, expect amazing presentation and savory selections.
-
Lots of recognized designers. Uber snazzy. Glittery pretties for all.
BEST PLACE TO WALK AND COOL OFF: Forest Park
-
Forest Park is 500 acres larger than Central Park in New York, so my guess is- there’s plenty of breathing space for you to get good and cooled off. Get out of the house and take a long, long walk.
