CENTRAL WEST END

Grand residential neighborhoods near the northeast corner of Forest Park, built around the turn of the 19th century, are the most extravagant in the city—pay attention to “no trespassing” signs...they’re not kidding. The commercial hub along Euclid Ave. includes art galleries, antique shops, boutiques and cafés within easy walking distance of the neighborhood’s hotels. Do stop in at Central Table, The Cup, Pickles Deli and The Silver Lady. Sightseeing musts include the Cathedral Basilica of Saint Louis and World Chess Hall of Fame. www.cwescene.com. 314.361.2850.
