Sugarfire - Bring your appetite because you will enjoy some St. Louis-style barbecue that is smoked in-house. Their menu has generous offerings such as pulled pork or beef brisket and they also have several salmon options. You could visit Sugarfire just for dessert! They have shakes, floats and delicious baked options that are made on site. Can’t choose? Just get a pie shake then! Pick the pie you want and they will put it in a housemade milk shake! Feeling like a shake or a float, but in the mood for grilled cheese tacos instead, head across the street to the Hi-Pointe. These St. Louis establishments are owned by the same person and are just steps from the Convention Center on Washington Ave. They are known for their burgers - try the Frisco Melt or their Cowboy Burger! Not feeling burger, no worries, they also have other sandwiches and salads on the menu. Come hungry because you’ll want to get the fries and a shake or a float! Coming for dinner? Maybe beer or wine instead of shake!
If you are up for a 15 minute walk, head south towards Busch Stadium, home of the St. Louis Cardinals. Although baseball season will be over there is plenty to do across the street at Ballpark Village - a dining and entertainment destination. Staying Saturday Night when the conference ends? Like soccer? Ballpark Village has you covered. Sports & Social St. Louis hosts watch parties for STL CITY and October 18th is their last match of the season. Enjoy an in-stadium feel, DJ entertainment with Deks & Kriggles, and contests & games. Not into soccer? There are many, many more dining options!
Is garlic or mizithra cheese calling your name? You’ll want to head east to historic Laclede’s Landing and visit The Old Spaghetti Factory for lunch or dinner. While not a St. Louis original, who doesn’t want a 3 course meal including bread with soup or salad, your entree, and maybe best of all, a scoop of spumoni (or vanilla ice cream)!
