Dining in St. Louis

Spring sporting events in St. Louis.

There's a saying in St. Louis, "If you don't like the weather, just wait five minutes." Our weather is frustratingly fickle and nothing ruins a day of sightseeing more than that cold, wet-dog feeling after being caught in the rain. Many St. Louis sights have amusing boutiques that offer fun and fashionable solutions à la galoshes, umbrellas, and raincoats for those dreary April showers.

Who better than a professional concierge to give you the lowdown on the best restaurants in town? We polled hundreds of St. Louis area concierges, and came up with this list of their favorite dining destinations.

Phyllis Smith, star of the hit NBC series The Office, often comes home to the picturesque South St. Louis neighborhood where she grew up. Lately, she's been spending time here while waiting out the Hollywood writers' strike. We met at a coffee shop near her home, where we shared a lively conversation about how she would spend a perfect day in the city.
