The Essential St. Louis A grand cavalcade of performances and events illuminate the St. Louis cultural scene this month, including "The Phantom of the Opera" and "The Book of Mormon" at the Fox Theatre, Cardinals baseball at Busch Stadium, Circus Flora in Grand Center, Cinco de Mayo on Cherokee Street, art fairs at Laumeier Sculpture Park and Belleville, Illinois, Opera Theatre of St. Louis' Spring Season of operas in English, the St. Louis Microfest Beer Festival and much more. For a quieter peek into St. Louis history, check out the Chatillon-DeMenil Mansion. 90 MINUTES IN:
Chatillon-DeMenil Mansion
The Chatillon-DeMenil residence was built in two sections, the first a four-room brick house by Henri Chatillon in 1849. Chatillon, a guide and hunter for the American Fur Company of St. Louis, served as a guide for Francis Parkman, Jr., who wrote about their travels in “The Oregon Trail.” In 1856, Chatillon sold his modest home to Dr. Nicholas N. DeMenil, a wealthy Frenchman who came to St. Louis in 1834. DeMenil hired architect Henry Pitcher to transform Chatillon’s farmhouse into a Greek Revival mansion, a style much in vogue during the period. The addition, which resulted in the structure seen today, was completed in 1863. Three generations of the DeMenil family occupied the home until 1929. In the early 1960s, the house was threatened by I-55, then in the planning stages. The Landmarks Associ-
ation bought the house from the State of Missouri Highway Commission and the highway was diverted. The home was restored and opened as a museum in 1964-65. The mansion contains a vast collection of period furnishings, some belonging to the DeMenil family, and one artifact from the Chatillon period of the house, a painting found in the attic in 1964 depicting the death of Henri Chatillon’s first

TASTEFUL JOURNEYS!
Several St. Louis neighborhoods exhibit a particular ethnic or cultural predominance. The most famous, The Hill, is St. Louis’ storied Italian community, home to a bounty of Italian eateries. A vibrant Mexican presence has settled on Cherokee St. east of Jefferson, where the city’s best Cinco de Mayo takes place. Along Olive Blvd. just east of I-170 you’ll find a gathering of Asian restaurants and supermarkets, the closest thing to a Chinatown. In the post-Vietnam War era, St. Louis was a destination for refugees, and their culinary expressions thrive along South Grand Blvd. alongside a virtual United Nations of restaurants.
BOSNIA Grbic specializes in the homey, hearty food typical of the owners’ home country, the former Yugoslavia, including schnitzels, cabbage rolls, a popular assorted mixed grill plate, and tasty desserts. Don’t miss the Bosnian coffee if you need a high-octane sendoff! 4071 Keokuk St. in South St. Louis, 314.772.3100, Map 3-7F.
Meskerem Ethiopian Cuisine
ETHIOPIA At Meskerem Ethiopian Cuisine, you’ll find the traditional sourdough pancake, injera, and wat, a thick stew, along with lots of other beef, chicken, lamb, seafood and vegetarian options. 3210 S. Grand Blvd., 314.772.4442, Map 4-5F.

FRANCE Cafe Provençal practices French cooking in the manner of Provence: lighter dishes than the stereotypical heavily sauced French cuisine. 427 S. Kirkwood Rd., in Kirkwood’s Woodbine Center, 314.822.5440, Map 3-7C. GREECE Olympia Kebob House & Taverna is a popular spot for Greek favorites including gyros, hummus/ pita, dolmades, pastitsio, moussaka, saganaki, tzatziki, babaganous, shish kabob, lamb chops and (perhaps incongruously) a tasty burger. Enjoy the super-casual ambiance and on a nice day, the patio. 1543 McCausland Ave., 314.781.1299, Map 4-3C.
ITALY Mama’s on The Hill, a longtime neighborhood staple, serves up familiar favorites like toasted ravioli, flash-fried spinach and pizza alongside entrées including veal Marsala, jumbo prawns scampi and seafood ravioli. 2132 Edwards, 314.776.3100. Map 4-4E. Guido’s Pizzeria & Tapas adds a Spansish component to its Italian menu with 10-15 tapas daily (like croquetas de pollo and bacalao a la Vizcaina, a cod dish), alongside popular dishes like cannelloni, lasagna and St. Louis-style thin-crust pizza. 5046 Shaw Ave., 314.771.4900, Map 4-4E. Charlie Gitto’s, a venerable room with longstanding St. Louis ties, is a favorite for dishes like veal Milanese, chicken spiedini, baked spaghetti and three-pepper seafood pasta. Great wine list. 5226 Shaw Ave., 314.772.8898. Map 4-4E.

JAPAN Drunken Fish, an award-winning hot-spot, serves everything from sushi to traditional Japanese dishes.

Euclid Ave., 314.932.7182, Map 4-2E. PERU Mango delivers a Peruvian take on familiar dishes like tamales, empanadas, carne asada and more; citrus-marinated ceviche is recommended. 1001 Washington Ave., 314.621.9993, Map 2-2D. SCOTLAND The woody interior of the Scottish Arms will put you in mind of the old country, and the updated takes on classics from Scotch eggs and cock-a-leekie pie to haggis, will keep you there. The selection of single-malt whiskies, needlees to say, is outstanding. 8 S. Sarah St., in the Central West End, 314.535.0551, Map 4-2F.
SPAIN Barcelona brings a hip twist to tapas in a vibrant, intimate space always filled with a beautiful crowd. 34 N. Central in Clayton, 314.863.9909, Map 4-1A.

St. Louis Your Way
Gift-Hunter
Adrenaline Junkie
History Buff
Looking for that certain something for that certain someone back home? Head to Forest Park, where all of the major attractions sport outstanding gift shops. (1) Saint Louis Art Museum actually has three: the main shop in the lower level, a smaller space in the East Building (shown here) and one at the end of the Sunken Cities exhibit. The (2) Saint Louis Zoo has gift-buying opportunities scattered throughout its 79 acres, but the one in the Living World (shown here) is everything you need in a zoo shop and more. The (3) Missouri History Museum's cleverly named Louisiana Purchase shop is brimming with books on St. Louis and regional history and gifts relating to its many exhibits. Also in Forest Park, you'll find great science-related gifts at the Saint Louis Science Center.
Love to challenge yourself, push the envelope, face your fears? Take a flying look at St. Louis on (1) Gateway Helicopter Tours (based on the St. Louis Riverfront), traveling at 100 miles an hour hundreds of feet above the city—a spectacular way to see downtown, Forest Park, Missouri Botanical Garden and much more. See how high you can climb at (2) Climb So Ill ("So Ill" stands for Southern Illinois) near Lafayette Square, where beginner and experienced rock climbers can find climbing areas that match their abilities, plus expert instruction. Visitors to (3) City Museum, the multi-experiential funhouse on steroids, will find much to get the heart pumping, like giant hamster tunnels suspended in mid-air, ten-story slides and a ferris wheel perched on the roof.
St. Louis, founded as a French trading post in 1764, has a lot of history to offer. The (1) Daniel Boone Home in Defiance, Missouri, (about 40 minutes from St. Louis) is where America's most famous pioneer spent the last years of his life. A nearby pioneer village has been assembled from regional buildings. The (2) Holocaust Museum and Learning Center tells the story of the unthinkable annihilation of European Jews by Nazi Germany, much of the narrative through St. Louis survivor artifacts. Lewis and Clark spent the winter of 1803-1804 camped in Southern Illinois preparing for their historic trek to the Pacific Ocean and back, a page in history thoroughly illuminated at the (3) Lewis & Clark State Historic Site Visitors Center, complete with a full-sized replica of the expedition's keel boat.
