Magical neighborhood location and only .9 mile walk from our house. This fantastic coffeeshop founded by the wife of Susie's college math advisor. You could spend hours people watching here. The seminary across the street has a large park and you'll see countless dogs, yoga events, neighbors running into neighbors. Great food, great espresso beverages, strong brews.

If you like checking out local beer, you have to check out Schlafly. They have multiple brewpubs in StL, but the closest is Schlafly Bottleworks (1.9 miles in the Maplewood business district). Plenty of seating for large groups, and a great menu has something for everyone. You can shop retail, take a tour of the brew process, catch a maker fare, and see live music.

.5 miles from our house. We haven't been yet but our friends tell us this is the BEST BURGER IN SAINT LOUIS.
Local, Pasture Raised, Unconventional, WHOLE Animal Proteins and Seasonal Produce Specials. A Burger Joint.
From WHOLE cow, dry-aged beef smashed burgers to boudin, cracklins and all the condiments, we make almost everything from scratch to provide food that is undeniably more delicious and inherently more nutricious.
We are committed to using seasonal produce and sourcing whole animals from small local farms, utilizing every part of the animal in the foods we prepare. We only work with farmers who are true stewards of the Earth, those who are committed to the ethical treatment of their animals and allow them to engage in their natural intrinsic behaviors. Because we believe, that's how it should be done.

Activities
4 blocks east of our house. Represented in concrete are a snapping turtle, a soft-shelled turtle, a red-eared slider, a Mississippi map, three box turtles and a stinkpot turtle. In addition to the turtles, there are seven oversized turtle eggs, three of which include hatching baby turtles, and a long sinuous snake that appears to be taking a bite out of the overpass.
Created by Bob Cassilly, founder of the unique and quirky City Museum, the sculptures range from seven to forty feet in length. Turtle Playground was designed by Richard Claybour and funded by Sonya “Sunny” Glassberg as a gift to the children of St. Louis. The turtles are named for her children and grandchildren. The area is open daily from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m.

.9 mile from our house. Charming Neighborhood and PLAYGROUND with enclosed fence, perfect for tired parents to relax and enjoy a coffee from Kaldi's or ice cream from Clementine's.
DeMun Park, located at the corner of Southwood and DeMun, in the business district of the Demun Neighborhood is a neighborhood play area. There are 2 playgrounds available, one for children ages 2 to 5 and the other for 5 to 12 year olds. A decorative steel fence with a gate to keep the youngsters safe from traffic surrounds this 1/2-acre, level space. The winding walk around the central raised garden is a great path for little ones to ride their cycles. Benches provide an area for parents to talk while keeping an eye on their children. Large trees keep the park dappled in shade, while the colorful garden delights with seasonal interest

When the Jewel Box was dedicated in 1936, crowds flocked to experience its magnificent Art Deco design. The structure’s unique construction of cantilevered glass supported by arched steel beams also proved a ground-breaking (but not glass-breaking) technical achievement.
A $3.5 million renovation in 2002 transformed the interior into an open, sunlit space ideal for quiet moments, distinctive weddings and many other special events. The Flora Conservancy of Forest Park works with the City of St. Louis to maintain the beautiful floral arrangements around this area.
