Located in the lower level of the Drury hotel, near Union Station. This place is old school Italian. And has been a local favorite for years. You fully expect to see the Godfather in the dark bowls of this place. The house salad and calzone are to die for. And don't miss the turtle soup!

This one of the few options for dining late night in the downtown area. It is quite a unique city experience. And one that you will thank me for when it's late and you're desperate for food. Yet one you will hate me for the next day. So there it is. Eat Rite or don't eat at all. Tip: They will only buzz you in the door if they have room to seat you in this tiny diner.

Story has it, that this St. Louis gem has a liquor license issue number 1. Originally a sugar warehouse in the days of river front trading.

Entertainment & Activities
This is equal parts museum and interactive amusement. And all parts amazing. This place is a wonder to behold and experience. An adventure for anyone willing to climb and explore. Plenty to visually take in if you are not the adventurous type. Do not miss this place! You'll likely never see anything like it again. It also has a few eating/drinking spots within. Tip: It is easy to lose sight of/or connection with exploring children if you do not go exactly where they do. Opportunities to climb do not always come out where one might expect. To avert this potentially stressful experience, have a plan or meeting place in case you get temporarily separated.
