What to do in St. Louis?

I If you want great pizza, go to Pi.

And...if you want the BEST pizza in the world...come to Chicago!

I have worked off and on in St Louis over the last 6 years. The Hill is where we always head for something special to eat.

Mama Campisi's
Zia's
Giovanni's
Giancarlos-Watch the owner in the back she can get nasty!!

Finish with Ted Drewes Frozen Custard.

I actually really dig St. Louis style pizza. It truly is about the only place you will find it. Thin cracker style crust loaded with toppings and the snap of fresh Provel!!

Were excited we got a suite for aug20 game against giants. Hopefully we won't have to drive much. Where's the hill? Is it a
n area of downtown. Ever eat at grilled chz place from man v food?

I agree wholeheartedly. When I visit Chicago, I make it a point to stop and get a half-baked to take home in a cooler bag.

Regarding Ozzie's, the one at Westport closed last year, but he opened a new one downtown on Washington Avenue in the past few weeks.

Also, while the Cards' HOF/museum is closed, there's still a good baseball exhibit at the Arch about the westward expansion of the game. Worth checking out. Some of the team's artifacts are on display there.

The Hill is a famous neighborhood. Google any of the restaurants that Mariners Gamers listed (all great) and get directions. You might also want to drive down the street where Yogi Berra and Joe Garagiola grew up.

I forgot to mention, the hot dogs at The Cardinals games are the best I have had at a ballpark in my life. Also, if you go to a baseball game, get club level tickets so you can get the cupcakes - the red velvet were amazing.

Also, the $20-$40 limit hold 'em game at Harrah's is usually a loose, beatable game. They only play Wednesday and Fridays.

The new Four Seasons (opened 2.5 years ago) is one of the cheaper Four Seasons in America. They often have specials such as buy 2 nights, get one free. Their spa is small, but usually empty. The Lumière Place casino is the best casino in town.

Of course, you gotta check out the Gateway Arch. Museums and films on ground floor, and an awesome view from the top. My wife and I have made the trip several times, and consider the top a special location for both of us. The tram ride up can be a bit snug (5 passengers per car), but the only way being at the top is bad is when someone's making a scene up there, such as a crying kid or my mother-in-law 6 years ago, when she threw a tantrum on top because she felt the employees on the bottom didn't offer her enough help.

Were having everything catered so i imagine ill be able to put down ten dogs. Didnt know there were casino's there so that will be an option to get away from the in-laws. Is the arch a beating? I know i have to go since im going to st. louis, but i might try to take that one in with the wife, and leave the family behind. (young kids)
