The Essential St. Louis March welcomes weather as unpredictable as any month of the year, but even the deepest freeze does not deter the hardy souls who turn out in droves for the two St. Patrick's Day Parades (one downtown and one in Dogtown). March brings plenty of indoor pleasures as well: "Beautiful: The Carole King Musical" at the Fox Theatre, "La Cage aux Folles" at the Marcelle, Jay Pharoah at Helium Comedy Club, the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra and Justin Timberlake at Enterprise Center. Urban explorers should check out the walkable streets of Clayton.
Clayton
Clayton, the county seat of St. Louis County, is also a powerhouse business hub, home to a long list of top local companies, financial services, law firms and other enterprises, which not surprisingly has resulted in a formidable collection of hotels (so chances are pretty good you’re staying in one). The compact, walkable business district, distinguished by a bevy of high-rise corporate towers, features loads of street-level restaurants and browse-worthy retailers. Naturally, the day starts on the right foot at First Watch (8001 Forsyth Blvd.), where the health-minded head for breakfast. Lunch and dinner dining options abound, and include acclaimed establishments like The Crossing (7823 Forsyth Blvd.), a perennial best-restaurant-lister; Sardella and Pastaria (7734 Forsyth Blvd.) by James Beard

THE PLANT-BASED DIET
The restaurant landscape in St. Louis continues to evolve, bringing new takes on comfort food, world flavors and recognition from prestigious entities. Here is a snapshot of some of St. Louis’ top tables. Kimchi Guys
Savage
As the benefits of vegetable-rich diets accruing to both one’s health and the environment become increasingly clear, the list of vegetarian restaurants in St. Louis continues to grow. Gokul Indian Restaurant has served a 100% vegetarian menu in a buffet format for more than 12 years. 6101 Delmar Blvd., 314.721.1888

©D. LANCASTER
NEW RESTAURANTS Cinder House pairs James Beard Award-winner Gerard Craft with the Four Seasons Hotel for a wood-fired menu informed by South American flavors (999 N. 2nd St., 314.881.5759). Union 30 in the new Hotel Saint Louis takes comfort food to a new level with dishes like five-cheese mac and cheese, maple-seared duck and waffles and a rotating menu of smoked meats (705 Olive St., 314.241.4300). Kimchi Guys, by the talented folks at Drunken Fish, brings Korean fried chicken and fusion dishes to the fast-casual scene (612 N. 2nd St., 314.241.3474). Savage, declared the best new St. Louis restaurant of 2018 by at least one food critic, serves a tasting menu ($25, $55 or $75) of innovative small dishes (2655 Ann Ave., 314.354.8488). AWARD-WINNERS Sidney Street Café is helmed by James Beard Award-winner Kevin Nashan, who draws upon his French training and local suppliers to create his award-winning menu (2000 Sidney St., 314771.5777). Both Vicia (4260 Forest Park Ave., 314.533.9239), the acclaimed vegetable-forward restaurant in the Cortex District, and Nixta (1621 Tower Grove Ave., 314.899.9000), the in-
novative Mexican restaurant in Botanical Heights, were named among America’s best new restaurants of 2017 by Bon Appetit. Kevin Willman, owner/chef of Farmhaus, has earned a spate of James Beard nominations, and Food & Wine magazine named him one of its Best New Chefs in 2011 (3257 Ivanhoe Ave., 314.647.3800). Tony’s, holder of a AAA Four Diamond Award along with a roomful of other accolades, takes its reputation as a St. Louis dining icon seriously and consistently delivers exceptional gourmet Italian cuisine (410 Market St., 314.231.7007). ITALIAN Mama’s on the Hill totally updated its décor a few years ago, but continues to delight diners with its traditional menu of Italian favorites (2132 Edwards St., 314.776.3100). Charlie Gitto’s, another longstanding purveyor of gourmet Italian cuisine, offers traditional dishes like veal saltimbocca, seafood risotto and—surprise!—pizza (5226 Shaw Ave., 314.772.8898). BARBECUE St. Louis barbecue has not entered the national consciousness like Memphis or Kansas City, but you’d never know it by the long lines out-
side Pappy’s Smokehouse, where slow-smoked meats usually sell out before the day is done (3106 Olive St., 314.535.4340. The steadily expanding empire of Sugarfire Smokehouse restaurants is testimony to the finger-licking deliciousness of its menu of smoked meats, winner of the World Sandwich Championship (605 Washington Ave., 314.394.1720). PIZZA The impressive menu at Peel Wood Fired Pizza goes well beyond exceptional pies and includes house-brewed craft beer (208 S. Meramec Ave., 314.696.2515). St. Louisans cherish the cracker-thin crust at Imo’s, a location of which is probably within walking distance (www.imospizza. com). Firecracker Pizza brings a revolutionary mentality to pizza-making and pairs them with a long list of beers (4130 Manchester Ave., 314.534.2666). STEAKS Dedicated carnivores should beat a path to Ruth’s Chris Steak House (315 Chestnut St., 314.259.3200; 1 N. Brentwood Blvd., 314.783.9900); Sam’s Steak House (10205 Gravois Rd., 314.849.3033); or 801 Chophouse (137 Carondelet Plaza, 314.875.9900).
Confluence Kombucha (shown below) dazzles the adventurous diner with surprising ingredients like Japanese rice bran pickle and rhubarb chutney along with an array of kombuchas in a beguilingly intimate space. 4507 Manchester Ave., 314.833.3059. Tree House offers sustainable, seasonal, whole and locally sourced plant-based foods that aspire to rival any casual fine-dining experience with dishes like seasonal risotto, jamabalaya and wild mushroom stuffed ravioli. 3177 S. Grand Blvd., 314.696.2100. SweetArt, a family-owned bakery and lunch spot features art by co-owner and acclaimed St. Louis artist Cbabi Bayoc and a delicious vegetarian menu by his wife, Reine. 2203 S. 39th St., 314.771.4278. Lulu’s Local Eatery, a popular spot in the South Grand neighborhood, serves salads, wraps, sandwiches and entrées like winter quinoa bowl, mushroom stroganoff, and butternut squash enchiladas. 3201 South Grand Blvd., 314.300.8215.
