The Essential St. Louis Hard to imagine a better way to introduce a city than through its neighborhoods, the very tactic we have employed for this issue of Where. Besides its walkable districts, St. Louis in May also offers great Broadway shows at the Fox Theatre, a pair of excellent art fairs, James Beard Award nominees, the Tennessee Williams Festival and a powerful new exhibit at the Missouri History Museum, #1 in Civil Rights: The African American Freedom Struggle in St. Louis. If you have youngsters with you, do stop in at the unendingly fun Myseum.

Myseum

How fun is it to trick kids into learning stuff because they think they're just having fun? Well, there's fun for everyone at Myseum, geared primarily for kids 2-12. The rather labyrinthian facility features a surprise around every corner, and there are lots of corners. Note: If you want your child to be able to play on the slide and the inflatables, either make sure they wear socks, or you can buy socks for $2 a pair. So what can kids learn about?

Magnetism, for one thing.

The Magnetic Bridge features two large neodymium magnets between which kids can form a moldable mound of magnetic sand or steel pellets. Then there's the Catenary Arch (the inverted shape of a chain hanging freely between two points, the very curve described by the Gateway Arch) that kids can build with large foam blocks, an exercise

Gravity and friction come into play at the Dual Super Radar Slide, where kids climb up an enclosed structure and see their speed determined by radar as they zip down the slide.

Navigating St. Louis Neighborhoods An Insider’s Guide to the City’s Distinctive Dining/Shopping/ Entertainment Zones Every city is composed of a patchwork of neighborhoods, and in St. Louis, some have evolved to be especially visitor-friendly. The best offer a variety of locally owned businesses, plenty of retail and a plethora of dining options outside the usual national chains, and the very best might throw in a major attraction or two.

BENTON PARK Benton Park is worth a visit for Cherokee Antique Row, east of Jefferson Ave. on Cherokee St., and for a solid collection of distinctive restaurants like The Mud House, Blues City Deli, Hodak’s, Venice Cafe and the highly esteemed Sidney Street Café (recipient of a James Beard Nomination).

The historic ChatillonDeMenil Mansion is located at the east end of Cherokee.

West of Jefferson on Cherokee, a thriving Hispanic community has developed a colorful “Little Mexico” district. Map 4-5G CENTRAL WEST END Grand residential neighborhoods near the northeast corner of Forest Park, built around the turn of the 19th century, are the

Previous nominees Kevin Nashan of Sidney Street Café (2000 Sidney St., 314.771.5777 in Benton Park) and Kevin Willman of Farmhaus (3257 Ivanhoe Ave., 31.647.3800 in southwest St. Louis) were joined by Olive & Oak’s Jesse Mendica (102 W.

Needless to say, the nomination is a clear signal that you’re in for an exceptional dining experience. Enjoy!

Beer-Lover Have we finally had enough of those innumerable craft brewers who create unheard of flavors with barley, hops, yeast and who knows what else? Uh, no. They don't actually make beer at (1) Cicero's, but they do serve a gigantic selection—55 beers on tap and 200 in bottles— at their longtime digs in The Loop where they also serve live music every night. There's a monster selection as well at (2) Flying Saucer Draught Emporium, a stone's throw from Busch Stadium, where you'll find everything from Abbey de Leffe Blonde to Xingu Brazilian Black along with a full menu of upscale but affordable sports-bar fare. They do happen to make their own beer at (3) Morgan Street Brewery in Laclede's Landing, and it is sensational, including the award-winning Golden Pilsner.

History Buff Founded as a European settlement in 1764, St. Louis lays claim to a long and fascinating history, much of it reflected in its historic homes. The (1) Field House Museum tells two tales, the father's, Roswell Field, who initiated the infamous Dred Scott Decision, and the son's, Eugene Field, who rose to fame for his children's poems. (2) Sappington House, the oldest surviving brick residence in St. Louis County (1808), was built with slave labor.

Bring your appetite and dine at The Barn, or bring your running shoes and hike on the nearby Grant's Trail. America's most famous pioneer began building what is now known as the (3) Daniel Boone Home near Defiance, Missouri, in 1803, when he accepted a governing position in what was then Spanish territory and died there in 1820.
