DAVID LANCASTER

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

The Essential St. Louis July in St. Louis can bring steamy heat during the day—relief from which comes by way of our collection of pools and water parks—and balmy breezes at night—perfect for enjoying entertainment under the stars, like The Muny outdoor musical theater in Forest Park (turning 100 this season), this month presenting "Singin' in the Rain," "Jersey Boys," "Annie" and "Gypsy." If you have time to spare, do pay a visit to an important museum in Jefferson Barracks County Park that explores the very complicated history of Missouri's involvement in the Civil War. 90 MINUTES IN:

Missouri Civil War Museum

Missouri was settled largely by Southerners who traveled to the territory via the Mississippi River and brought their slaves with them, and Missouri entered the Union in 1821 as the last slave state north of the 30˚30’ latitude. The Kansas/Nebraska Act of 1854 allowed new states to decide for themselves whether to join as a free or slave state. Factions on both sides of the Missouri/Kansas border fought bloody skirmishes to influence Kansas’ decision. Meanwhile, the Supreme Court’s 1857 Dred Scott Decision, initiated in St. Louis, declared that no one of African ancestry was considered a U.S. citizen and could not therefore initiate legal action in any court, a decision that helped foment the Civil War. During the war, Missourians fought on both sides, and more than 1,200 distinct engagements were contested within Missouri’s borders, a

number exceeded only by Tennessee and Virginia. The Missouri Civil War Museum in Jefferson Barracks, one of the largest and most extensive Civil War museums in the Midwest, chronicles the state’s very complicated role in the war through more than 1,000 artifacts—uniforms, weapons, letters, medals, equipment— and several feature films. The Pre-War Gallery sets the stage for the conflict to come, and the Colonel John Emerson

Get going! Explore the city at wheretraveler.com.

Main Gallery takes visitors through the grim years of the war that eventually claimed more than 620,000 American lives. Two new exhibits—Jefferson Barracks: Through the Years and Hollywood and the Civil War—tell the history of the museum’s home (a re-purposed 1905 athletic center) and examine Civil War-related films of the last century. The museum is open daily 9 am-5 pm. Admission is $7; $5 for students and veterans; $6 for seniors; free for active military and kids under 5.

The longtime concierge at The Chase Park Plaza Royal Sonesta Hotel picks her top five St. Louis attractions What is St. Louis most known for? The Gateway Arch, Budweiser beer, Cardinals baseball and toasted raviolis. But there is so much more to explore. Can you give us a surpring fact about St. Louis? Did you know that Forest Park is larger than Central Park in New York? It’s true! From world-class museums, such as the Saint Louis Art Museum and the Missouri History Museum, to the Saint Louis Zoo – which was recently voted as Best Zoo and America’s Top Free Attraction by USA TODAY – there are a multitude of wonderful attractions in Forest Park. Not to mention The Muny, where you can see a Broadway show under the stars. Where should lovers of music, art and theater go? Grand Center is the place to be! Home to the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra, Fox Theatre, Jazz at the Bistro, Pulitzer Arts Foundation and much more. What three other attractions should visitors not miss? Voted #1 family attraction in the world by Trip.com, the City Museum defies its description, filled with climbing structures and quirky treasures. The Missouri Botanical Garden, the nation’s oldest botanical garden in continuous operation, is a place of beauty and family fun for St. Louisans and visitors alike. The Cathedral Basilica Saint Louis is a “can’t miss” with the world’s largest collection of mosaics and awe-inspiring architecture.

RIDE ‘EM IF YOU GOT ‘EM You may see some lemon- or lime-colored bikes waiting for action around the city. The yellow bikes are Ofo, the green LimeBikes, and both dockless bikeshares operate in pretty much the same way. Download the app on your smart phone (which will locate bikes on a map), scan the QR code, and the bike is remotely unlocked. Rides cost $1 (per hour or halfhour), and you can park them at your destination (use the app guidelines: not on grass, not in pedestrian right-of-way, not in a vehicular right-of-way, not inside a building). Lock the bike at ride’s end by sliding closed the rear-wheel lock, and you’re done. The idea is to make bike riding easy, convenient, affordable and absolutely free for the city government. It’s good for the environment, too.

Love that bling? Find something truly unique at these shops. (1) The Silver Lady offers stunningly original designs from around the world in mostly silver and precious stones in its three well-stocked shops. Visit them all— they’re in fun neighborhoods. (2) Timekeepers sounds like a clock shop; it is (the collection of antique clocks looks like a museum), but savvy shoppers know to come here for first-rate estate jewelry. Two locations, one in Clayton, one in Creve Coeur. (3) Craft Alliance Center of Art + Design in The Loop, a nationally-recognized craft gallery, features a gift shop loaded with hand-crafted gifts, including artist-made jewelry that demonstrates the imaginative skill of contemporary craftspeople.

The thoroughly Americanized Italian import gets the star treatment on these fine menus. (1) Anthonino's Taverna does a tasty blend of Italian and Greek cuisine in its handsome digs on The Hill, including a long list of specialty pizzas. If you’re going to The Muny, Fox Theatre or Peabody Opera House, get 10% off with same-day tickets. (2) The Black Thorn Pub & Pizza, a longtime stalwart in the Tower Grove South neighborhood, dishes up Chicago-style, pan and thin-crust pizzas in a determinedly divey atmosphere a few blocks off the South Grand business strip. The wait is usually long, but totally worth it. (3) TwinOak Wood-Fired Pizza & BBQ utilizes the largest wood-fired oven in the U.S. to bake its gourmet pizzas at around 900 degrees. Thirteen to choose from, but you can build your own.

Prefer to hear your music up close and personal in cozy clubs rather than cavernous venues? Check out these popular night spots. (1) Blueberry Hill has been hosting intimate concerts for decades in the two lower-level rooms at its justly famous digs in The Loop (where the late Chuck Berry did a regular gig). This month look for a King Crimson tribute band, Zak Clark, Mephiskapheles, Peter Mayer and more. (2) BB's Jazz, Blues & Soups serves all three every night just south of Busch Stadium. BB’s, Broadway Oyster Bar and Beale on Broadway complete the storied “Broadway Blues Triangle.” A few more blocks south of downtown, the (3) Old Rock House brings in talent from all over, this month including Katie Herzig, Miles Nielsen & The Rusted Hearts, Simo and Jimmie Vaughn.
