EDITOR’S ITINERARY

DAVID LANCASTER

N E W S T O T R AV E L B Y

The Essential St. Louis March serves up some of the year's most unpredictable weather, which means the two St. Patrick's Day Parades on March 17 could enjoy balmy breezes or bone-chilling freezes. There are plenty of indoor delights this month: "The Color Purple" and "Chicago" at the Fox Theatre; P!NK, Miranda Lambert and the Eagles at the Scottrade Center; and a spectacular exhibit of recently exhumed Egyptian artifacts opening March 25 at the St. Louis Art Museum. Be sure to visit one of the city's "hidden treasures," the World Chess Hall of Fame. 90 MINUTES IN:

A tender comedy by Joe DiPietro directed by Alan Knoll

...the sway of family ...the magic of opera ...an Italian-American widower ...the transformative power of love

World Chess Hall of Fame

If it weren't for the giant chess piece announcing its presence to the world, you might walk right by the World Chess Hall of Fame in the Central West End. The nonprofit collecting institution explores the dynamic relationship between art, culture, history and chess through exhibitions, interpretive programs and performances in the 3-story museum. Exhibits: Victor Vasarely: Calculated Compositions features work by the French-Hungarian "Father of the Op Art movement" who began incorporating chessboards into his art in the late 1930s (through Mar. 25); Pinned! A Designer Chess Challenge celebrates the intersection of fashion and chess with the newly founded Saint Louis Fashion Fund, resulting in chess ensembles created by six emerging designers (through Mar. 25); Global Moves: Americans in

A crush can make anyone feel young again—even a widower named Ralph. Ralph, an Italian-American in his 70s, is an opera lover who once auditioned for The Met. He now lives with his very protective sister. On an ordinary day in a routine life, Ralph decides to take a different path on his daily walk—one that leads him to an unexpected second chance at love. The Last Romance is a heart-warming comedy about the transformative power of love.

THE GUIDE

His incredibly dense compositions (on which there is nowhere for the eye to rest) are found in museums and major collections throughout the world. Huck has a show of his work at the Duane Reed Gallery through March 31, (www.duanereedgallery.com. 4729 McPherson Ave., in the Central West End, 314.361.4100.

St. Louis Your Way

Antiquer

First-Timer

Love those venerable objects from yesteryear? St. Louis, on the map since 1764, has lots of them. The word "eclectic" should be accompanied by an image from (1) David Kent Richardson Interiors, home to a spectacularly unpredictable range of objects, furniture and art in the Italian Hill neighborhood. Much more focused is the selection at (2) Jack Parker Antiques, a tightly curated collection of regional art, Mission furniture and Native American Indian artifacts. The shop is located on the second floor of O'Connell's Pub, where you might as well have lunch. Lovers of midcentury design should put (3) Rocket Century on their itinerary. The South Grand shop carries furniture, art, accessories kitchenware and more from the century beginning with the 1920s.

If you've never been to St. Louis before, there is a long list of things we think you ought to see. High on the list is (1) Cahokia Mounds State Historic Site, the UNESCO World Heritage Site that is home to the remains of the largest pre-Columbian city north of Mexico. Climb the 100-foot-tall Monks Mound, from which you can see the Gateway Arch seven miles away. The entirety of art history is represented at the (2) Saint Louis Art Museum in Forest Park, which expanded in 2013 to include a contemporary wing. A massive project to better connect the (3) Gateway Arch with the rest of downtown is coming to a close, ending years of construction and re-configuration. For the moment, however, the Arch is still open for rides to the top. Start your journey at the nearby Old Courthouse.

St. Louis is proud of the "free admission" ethos that makes some of its best attractions available to its least privileged citizens. Anyone of any faith can drink in the spectacle of the largest collection of mosaics under one roof in the world at the (1) Cathedral Basilica of Saint Louis in the Central West End. The resemblance to Venice's St. Mark's Cathedral is no accident. Washington University's (2) Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum offers free admission to its stellar permanent collection of American and European masterpieces and special exhibitions. It's totally free to drop in at the (3) Soulard Farmers Market, the oldest continuous farmers market west of the Mississippi and one of the best free shows in town. Come back at night for an evening of live music in one of Soulard's intimate clubs.
