The Essential St. Louis The average high temperature in January is 40 degrees; the average low 23—not as cold as it feels in reality. Not to worry; lots of indoor treats on hand: Graphic Revolution at the Saint louis Art Museum, "Anastasia" at the Fox Theatre, Ruth Asawa at the Pulitzer Arts Foundation, the world premiere of "Canfield Drive" (Michael Brown/Ferguson) by the Black Rep, "Alabama Story" at Repertory Theatre of St. Louis, and Atlantic 10 conference basketball games at Chaifetz Arena. If you can brave the cold, head over to Maplewood, one of the city's best neighborhoods.

Maplewood

This constantly-improving neighborhood boasts a high concentration of locallyowned shops and restaurants along Manchester Rd. and Sutton Blvd., enough for a day’s worth of browsing and noshing (particularly since many of the shops specialize in gourmet treats). Start the day at Foundation Grounds (7298 Manchester Rd.), serving breakfast from 6:30 am M-Sa, 7 am on Su. A short stroll west along Manchester and south Sutton will take you to some of the best shops and boutiques in the city: Intaglia Home, (furniture, rugs, art, décor & lighting); Kakao Chocolate (handmade chocolate confections); Roughneck Grooming Supply Co. (beard-culture headquarters); Maven (handmade bath & body products); Airedale Antics (holistic pet food, supplies and grooming); The Silver Lady (sensational jewelry, mostly but not exclusively

08 History Museums

At 254, St. Louis has seen a lot of history, and its many history museums tell its story from a variety of viewpoints: politics, music, sports, war. One is all about the remarkable culture that existed here centuries before the European invasion.

10 Alton, Illinois

There are plenty of reasons to visit the colorful town perched on bluffs overlooking the river north of St. Louis: eagles, civil war sites, dining, shopping, antiques, art and the creepy Piasa bird painted on the bluffs just outside town.

SHOPPING

Still 630 makes and sells a long line of small-batch whiskeys, rums, gins and more.

DINING

Grand Tavern brings celebrity chef David Burke's vision to the Grand Center Arts District.

Founded in 1764, St. Louis has a lot of history behind it, but of course a lot happened here before it was established, and regional museums reflect the broad scope of that historical panorama. One of them, the Gateway Arch Museum (shown here), has been entirely re-imagined.

of Father Jacques Marquette about his journey down the Mississippi River, in which he described the “Piasa” as a birdlike monster painted high on the bluffs along the Mississippi River, where the city of Alton, Illinois now stands. According to the diary, the Piasa “was as large as a calf with horns like a deer, red eyes, a beard like a tiger’s, a face like a man, the body covered with green, red and black scales and a tail so long it passed around the body, over the head and between the legs.” The name means “a bird that devours men.” The re-creation of the original painting can be seen on the bluff just north of Alton on the Great River Road.
