The Essential St. Louis This February, pretty much the whole month is taken over

by Mardi Gras, and we have got an appropriately wild one in the Soulard neighborhood just south of downtown.

February is also, of course, marked by Valentine's Day, and we have assembled five romantic itineraries for your amorous pursuits. There's lots more going on around town this month, from Blues hockey to a Degas exhibit at the Saint Louis art Museum, but if you have 90 minutes to spare, you might pay a visit to the Griot Museum of Black History in observation of Black History Month.

Griot Museum of Black History

The museum, housed in a handsome brick building, opened in 1997 as The Black World HIstory Wax Museum, and twelve years later, changed the name to more accurately reflect its mission: to collect, preserve, and share the stories, culture, and history of African Americans—particularly those with a regional connection to American history. Griot (pronounced “GREE-OH”) refers to the respected member of the community in some African countries who collects, preserves and shares the community's stories, objects, and cultural traditions.

To that end, the museum illuminates the stories of notable African Americans through life-size wax figures, art, artifacts and memorabilia, including Carter G. Woodson, Josephine Baker (shown here), Dred and Harriet Scott, Elizabeth Keckley, William Wells

5 Romantic Interludes

(OPPOSITE) ©D. LANCASTER; (THIS PAGE FROM TOP) ©ART INSTITUTE OF CHICAGO; COURTESY FOUR SEASONS HOTEL; ©D. LANCASTER

A delicious dinner, a box of chocolates, a little bling: these are the Valentine basics upon which we build. Add some world-class art, a cozy carriage ride, ice skating, massages, wine and comedy, and cupid has loosed his arrow. Indulge.

FOREST PARK St. Louis’ magnificent 1,300acre greenspace (larger than New York’s Central Park, thank you) is home to, among other stellar attractions, the Saint Louis Art Museum, where you can stroll hand-in-hand enjoying some of the greatest art the world has produced, including (starting Feb. 12) the major new exhibit: Degas, Impressionism, and the Paris Millinery Trade. (1 Fine Arts Dr., 314.721.0072.Map 4-2D).

Nothing like a spin on the ice to kindle the fires of love. Get spinning at the Steinberg Skating Rink, the Midwest’s largest, and then cuddle after.

(400 Jefferson Dr. in Forest Park, 314.367.RINK. Map 4-2E). Head over to the nearby Central West End for lunch or dinner, drinks and dancing at the uber-romantic Mary Ann’s Tea Room (4732 McPherson Ave., 314.361.5303. Map 4-2E), Mary Ann’s Tea Room

Sub Zero Vodka Bar (308 N. Euclid Ave., 314.367.1200. Map 4-2E) and Club Viva (408 N. Euclid Ave., 314.361.0322.

Map 4-2E).

WEST PORT PLAZA This all-purpose enclave of office towers, restaurants, nightclubs and hotels was designed to offer a complete evening’s entertainment within a few easily traversed blocks, the romantic couple’s dream. Start the night at Paul Mineo’s Trattoria, an authentic Sicil-

tacular Grand Hall at St. Louis Union Station (1820 Market St., 314-621.5262), and dinner at Hard Rock Café (also at Union Station), where the volume of the music means you’ll have to lean in real close (1820 Market St., 314.621.7625).

Edgar Degas, “The Millinery Shop,” 1885

ian eatery serving generous portions of traditional Italian dishes, challenging your capacity to leave room for desserts like the layered confection shown opposite. (333 West Port Plaza, 314.878.8180.

Map 3-4B). after-dinner entertainments abound. Get your laugh on at The Funny Bone Comedy Club (614 West Port Plaza, 314.469.6692) or the Playhouse at West Port Plaza, serving up comedies like “Menopause the Musical,” “Pump Boys and Dinettes,” Graeme of Thrones” and “Disenchanted” (635 West Port Plaza, 314.534.1111). Or you could just groove to the smooth sounds at Backstreet Jazz & Blues Club, showcasing local and national artists (610 West Port Plaza, 314.878.5800).

DOWNTOWN Your downtown interlude begins on a Saint Louis Carriage Company horsedrawn carriage ride through downtown’s narrow streets— the colder the better. Hop on without a reservation in front of the Hyatt Hotel at 4th and Chestnut (314.621.3334).

Then remove the chill with a side-by-side spa experience at the Four Seasons Hotel Spa & Salon, where a long list of massages, foot scrubs, stone therapies and much more melts the tension away (999 N. 2nd St., 314.881.5800, Map 2-1F).

Do some drinks at the spec-

SOUTH CITY For something a little more risqué, may we suggest the Koken Art Factory’s Naughti Gras, featuring the St. Louis Erotic Art Show, Feb. 17-18 (2500 Ohio Ave., 314.771.9000, Map 4-5G). Then dance the night away at Casa Loma Ballroom most Fridays and Saturdays (3354 Iowa Ave., 314.282.2258, Map 4-5G).

WINE COUNTRY Wine, that lubricator of romance, deserves a visit at this time of year, and Missouri wine country beckons just 45 minutes outside St. Louis on Highway 94, where some nine wineries produce outstanding Midwest wine. Chandler Hill Vineyards (596 Defiance Rd., 636.798.2675) features a big handsome tasting room, and Montelle Winery (201 Montelle Dr., 888.595.9463) offers the best views. Both make awardwinning wine. Stroll through charming little Augusta and shop at Stone Ledge Antiques (506 Locust St., 314.971.1823).

End the day over dinner at The Silly Goose (5501 Locust St., 636.482.4667).

MUSEUMS

TOYS TO SLAVES The Eugene Field House, a handsome but otherwise unremarkable three-story brick row house built in 1845, was originally preserved because Eugene Field, widely known as “The Children’s Poet,” spent part of his childhood there, but it can never be torn down because of Eugene’s father, Roswell, who initiated a lawsuit that went all the way to the Supreme Court.

A recent expansion project at the house, now called the Field House Museum, allows curators to more fully tell both stories. Eugene Field (1850-1895) was born in the house at 634 S. Broadway. He worked as a journalist in Missouri, but became famous as the author of poems like “Little Boy Blue” and “Wynken, Blynken, and Nod.” Samuel Clemens praised the writer during the unveiling of a bronze plaque marking the house as his birthplace in 1902. By 1934, the home was slated for the wrecking ball, inspiring reporter Irving Dillard to write an editorial decrying the destruction of a building associated with

the beloved poet. The St. Louis Board of Education (owner of the property) was persuaded to save the house, and schoolchildren collected nearly $2,000 for its preservation. It opened to the public as the Eugene Field Shrine in 1936, and later became known as the Eugene Field House and St. Louis Toy Museum. As research into Field and his family progressed (the usual business of historic homes), museum curators began to realize the profound importance of Eugene’s father. Roswell Field, one of the best property lawyers in Missouri, formulated the legal strategy that placed slave Dred Scott’s lawsuit for freedom before the Supreme Court. The 1857 decision, which declared that no slave could be a U.S. citizen and that the Missouri Compromise of 1820 was unconstitutional, widened the political gap between the North and the South and helped precipitate the Civil War. The museum is open for tours W-Sa 10 am-4 pm, Su noon4 pm. $10 adults, $5 children 7-15, free children 6 and under. www.fieldhousemuseum.org, 634 S. Broadway, 314.421.4689, Map 2-5E.

FirstTimers

Guys

When that acquisitive urge asserts itself, hurry to one of these exemplary emporiums of things past. (1) David Kent Richardson Decorations + Interior Design, nestled in the Italian Hill neighborhood, offers a pleasingly eclectic collection of furnishings and decorative objects selected with a designer's eye. Perched above O'Connell's Pub at Kingshighway and I-44 (where you might as well have lunch), (2) Jack Parker Antiques specializes in regional art, mission furniture and American Indian artifacts. (3) R. Ege Antiques, a few blocks from the Anheuser-Busch Brewery, rewards the intrepid antiquer with a quirky selection of mid-century ephemera, ecclesiastical art, industrial artifacts, oddball curiosities, folk art, photography and who knows what else.

Always worth a visit.

First time in St. Louis and you want to hit the highlights? Be sure to check out (1) Cathedral Basilica of Saint Louis in the Central West End, where the cathedral's gray granite exterior gives way to a glorious interior that glows with the world's largest collection of mosaics under one roof. (2) Saint Louis Science Center ,at the southeast corner of Forest Park, welcomes visitors with 700+ free, hands-on exhibits, plus plenty of ticketed exhibits, films and experiences. The gizmo that energizes the lobby is worth a visit on its own. (3) Old Courthouse, part of the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial (which includes the Gateway Arch) stands as one of the city's best history museums, offering exhibits temporarily removed from the Gateway Arch in a dazzling interior space.

We're assuming that guys like physical challenges, watching sports and the blues, which may or may not be you, but if it is, read on.

Catch the Super Bowl and your other favorite sporting events on the BIG screen at (1) Ballpark Village, the dining/entertainment complex right next door to Busch Stadium.

Test your climbing skills at (2) Climb So Ill ("So Ill" stands for southern Illinois, by the way) in a handsomnely repurposed hospital complex in the Lafayette Square neighborhood just south of downtown. Dive into the history of the blues (really the history of America) at downtown's newest major attraction, the (3) National Blues Museum, a state-of-the-art institution that lets you compose your own blues riff, record it, mix it and email it to yourself at a series of interactive stations.
