The Essential St. Louis June in St. Louis can bring steamy heat during the day— well defended with our collection of pools and water parks—and balmy breezes at night—perfect for enjoying entertainment under the stars, like the production of "Romeo and Juliet" in Forest Park, The Muny outdoor musical theater, or the Whitaker Music Festival at Missouri Botanical Garden. If you have time to spare, do pay a visit to the home not far from St. Louis in Defiance, Missouri, where America's most famous pioneer spent the last years of his illustrious life. 90 MINUTES IN:

Daniel Boone Home & Heritage Center

Daniel Boone, (b. 1734) grew up on the frontier in Pennsylvania and North Carolina, learning his considerable skills as a hunter and woodsman from his father. Boone volunteered for service in the French and Indian War, narrowly escaping death at the Battle of Monongahela. After the war he married Rebecca Bryan, a neighbor in the Yadkin River Valley, with whom he eventually had ten children. Boone first reached Kentucky, the state with which he is most closely associated, in 1767 during an extended hunt, and founded Boonesborough in 1775. Conflicts with local Indian tribes persisted, and in 1776, Boone's daughter Jemima and two other girls were captured by an Indian party, who headed north towards Shawnee territory. The girls' daring rescue by Boone and his men became the most cel-

ebrated incident in Boone's life, a fictionalized version of which appears in James Fennimore Cooper's "The Last of the Mohicans." Boone, never particularly successful with money or property, moved to Missouri—then part of Spanish Louisiana—in 1799, where he was named judge, jury and military commander of the Femme Osage District. Boone and his son, Nathan, began building the stone house

UP ON THE ROOF!

June’s balmy breezes beg us to get out and revel in the open air, and there’s something about a high place that makes that outdoor experience all the more compelling. St. Louis sports a number of rooftop establishments that offer sweeping vistas, good food, libations, and in one case, an amusement park. The food runs the gamut from high end Italian and French to ballpark fare, and the cocktails go from martinis to beer. Watch a Cardinals game, gaze at the Arch, ride a Ferris wheel, see the sunset from eight stories up: elevate your St. Louis visit with a stop at one or all of these stellar rooftop perches.

CIELO RESTAURANT & BAR Seemingly perched in the sky near the Arch, the eighth-floor restaurant does it all, from breakfast (think frittatas, breakfast pizza, Belgian waffles, granola, lobster eggs Benedict and French toast) through cocktails and dessert (to-die-for tiramisu). At lunch and dinner, a variety of small plates and authentic, homemade Italian pastas and entrées are offered, like Cielo Restaurant & Bar

octopus, beet tartare, beef carpacchio, seafood ravioli, braised beef risotto, steaks and more. Tasting menu available. Continue the night in nearby Laclede’s Landing or the adjacent Lumiere Place Casino.

We do too, and we especially love it at (1) Adam's Smokehouse, close to The Hill (St. Louis’ fabled Italian neighborhood), where the chicken is slow smoked, glazed with cranberry sauce and torched to seal in the flavors. Ribs, brisket, turkey, salami and pork, too. (2) Salt + Smoke, in The Loop, turns out to-die-for ribs, wings, brisket, salmon, pork with down-home sides like hush puppies, potato salad, creamed corn and pit beans along with craft cocktails, draught beer, a respectable wine list and many, many bourbons. St. Louis’ rising reputation on the BBQ front took wing at (3) Pappy's Smokehouse near Grand Center Arts District, where the Memphis-style pork, chicken, turkey, beef and sausage inspire fans to queue up before 11 am and order until the food runs out.

St. Louis offers a stellar list of free art museums, including the (1) Saint Louis University Museum of Art, which shows art and artifacts from the university’s wide-ranging collection of modern masters and Jesuit artworks, and currently an exhibit on the university’s bicentennial.
