EDITOR’S ITINERARY

Although the Christmas season is over and New Year has been celebrated, there’s still plenty of fun to be had in St. Louis, like the long list of off-beat entertainments we’ve assembled for your inspection. And if off-beat is off your radar, we have plenty of mainstream events to offer: “An American in Paris” at the Fox Theatre, the Harlem Globetrotters and Red Hot Chili Peppers at Scottrade Center and the legendary Art Garfunkel at The Sheldon Concert Hall. You might also spend 90m minutes or so at the Anheuser-Busch Brewery.

90 MINUTES IN: Even though St. Louis boasts a plethora of craft breweries and brew pubs, when someone here says “the brewery,” they’re invariably referring to Anheuser-Busch, a city landmark since 1852. Situated on 142 acres south of downtown in the Soulard neighborhood, the brewery’s 140 or so structures are dominated by the majestic brick Brew House (1892), identified both by its clock tower and the iron chandeliers in the form of hop vines that hang in its five-story light well.

Visitors are, of course, entirely welcome, and there are a number of different tours from which to choose. Start your visit at the Tour Center at 12th and Lynch St., which includes a well-stocked gift shop and access to the Biergarten, where you can enjoy both a beer and fare from the full menu. Then pick a tour.

There’s the 45-minute Compli-

Anheuser-Busch Brewery Tours

mentary Tour that takes you through the brewing process and visits the Budweiser Clydesdales in the famous circular stable (1885), Brew Kettles and the Beechwood Aging Cellars. The 75-minute Day Fresh Tour follows the journey of a beer from “seed to sip” and costs $10 for guests over 21, $4 for kids 3-20, free for toddlers 2 and younger. The Historic Schoolhouse Museum Tour includes

BURLESQUE IS ENJOYING

something of a renaissance in St. Louis—embracing a wide range of acts, including scantily clad dancers, circus performers, escape acts, oddball cabaret and any number of other diversions—thanks in large part to the educational efforts of Lola Van Ella, whose Van Ella Studios has been training performers with classes like Burlesque Basics, Solo Act Development and Exotic Rhythms. But burlesque is merely the tip of the alt-entertainment iceberg in St. Louis, which includes escape rooms, improv comedy and dueling pianos. See below for that and much more.

THE BOOM BOOM ROOM Leave the kids at home and step out with your friends and/or lovers to this burlesque-themed bistro, where a French menu (including duck confit, a poutine burger and maplebacon beignets) is the backdrop for specialty cocktails and scintillating performances. Experience full burlesque shows on Fridays to dinner-and-a-show seatings on Saturdays, and even roving cirque, aerial, and other surprises during dinner on other evenings.

ATTRACTION ALERT

Gateway Arch: A Work in Progress The Gateway Arch, located on the Riverfront at the foot of Market St., has been undergoing a massive construction project to better connect the iconic national monument with the surrounding city, which accounts for all the fencing and construction equipment. And although the tram rides to the top of the Arch have been suspended until Mar., visitors can still access the Arch Visitor Center and Arch Store, watch the Arch-construction documentary “Monument to the Dream,” take a riverboat cruise and visit the nearby Old Courthouse, where exhibits from the shuttered Arch museum are on display.

They can also join in Winterfest activities through Jan. 8, and enjoy the new pathways at the north end of the Arch grounds that better connect the Arch to Laclede’s Landing.

Saint Louis Art Museum

ROSSO AT THE PULITZER The Pulitzer Arts Foundation has given over its entire exhibition space to Medardo Rosso: Experiments in Light and Form, the first comprehensive exhibition of the artist’s work in a U.S. museum in over fifty years. Rosso (1858-1928), as unconventional and contrarian an artist as ever lived, wanted to free his sculptures from the illusion of permanence and solidity and considered light an inseparable component of his work. One of the galleries even offers visitors the opportunity to change and control the lighting on a sculpture.

Besides twenty-six sculptures in bronze, plaster and wax, the exhibit includes drawings and photographs. Admission is free.

Open W & Sa 10am-5pm, Th-F 10am-8pm. www.pulitzerarts.org.

Loaded with iconic toys like Barbie, GI Joe, Hula Hoop, Schwinn bikes, Mr. Potato Head, Cooties, Erector Set, Slinky and Gumby in three re-imagined living rooms and a hands-on space, the exhibit presents a time capsule of mid-centuryAmerica through its objects of play. The sociological implications of toys are further illuminated by a series of vintage TV commercials. Also on view: Route 66: Main Street Through St. Louis. Open daily 10am-5pm, Tu 10am-8pm.

GALLERIES Among the many charms of the Saint Louis Art Museum, one of the latest is the brilliant re-installation of its American Galleries, featuring some 150 works of art, one-fifth of which have not been on view in more than a decade. The reinstalled galleries, arranged both chronologically and thematically, include some of the museum’s most famous works, like George Caleb Bingham’s “Election Series,” John McCrady’s “Swing Low, Sweet Chariot” and Winslow Homer’s “The Country School.” There are also a number of pleasant surprises like a sparkling still life by Grant Wood, a pre-abstract-expressionist painting by Philip Guston, an incredibly tense surrealist painting by Siegfried Reinhardt and an anonymous early American portrait that could have been painted by Jim Nutt. Also on view: Conflicts of Interest: Art and War in Modern Japan (through Jan 8). Admission to the museum and its permanent collection is free, fee for some special exhibits.

[WHERE INSIDE]

St. Louis Your Way

Sports

BBQ

History

As the NFL season sprints toward the Super Bowl, fans in unfamiliar places might want to know where to catch that big playoff game. Wonder no more. Right next door to Busch Stadium, (1) Ballpark Village sports the biggest TV screen in town (super sharp, too), where the big game is always on. Plus, you can luxuriate in baseball heaven at the Cardinals Hall of Fame and Museum on the second level. There are more TV screens and plenty of beer choices at the (2) Brewhouse Historical Sports Bar, serving lunch and dinner daily and all the sports you can watch. If hockey shaves your ice, head over to Scottrade Center where the (3) Blues take on NHL foes. There’s action this month with Chicago, Carolina, Dallas, Boston, Ottawa, Washington and Winnipeg.

That smoke, that sauce, that heat, that sweet.

Goodness knows barbecue has invaded St. Louis like never before, and the treasures that await the BBQ enthusiast stand right up to more storied traditions from the Carolinas, Memphis and Kansas City. (1) Sugarfire founder Mike Johnson has been all over reality cooking TV showcasing his classically-trained chef chops, but you can taste his smoky skills right next door to the National Blues Museum. (2) Adam’s Smokehouse a tiny storefront setup just off the Italian Hill, brought some BBQ know-how from justly famous Pappy’s, whose alums are taking the gospel to the four corners of the city. The chicken is divine. (3) Salt + Smoke has been winning raves with its Texas-style barbecue, a huge list of bourbons and massive craft beer selection.

St. Louis’ European history began with the city’s founding in 1764, but centuries before that, native American Indians built the largest pre-Columbian city north of Mexico, the vestiges of which are still with us today at (1) Cahokia Mounds State Historic Site, where an outstanding interpretive center looks out at 100-foot-high Monks Mound (yes, you can climb it and see the Gateway Arch). In 1804, Lewis and Clark set out for the Pacific Ocean.

Less well known are the details of the time they spent in Illinois, a historic gap filled nicely by the (2) Lewis & Clark State Historic Site .

The history of blacks in America swings from heartbreak to triumph, a journey chronicled in the (3) Griot Museum of Black History Museum, which interprets the stories of African Americans with a regional connection.
