St. Louis, MO summarized
St. Louis' owes its semi-European vibe to its cultural and historical infrastructure. Any place, cosmopolitan at that, which is capable of producing the 20th century's greatest rockers and poets, namely Chuck Berry and T.S. Eliot, holds a lot of inspiration. Missouri's St. Louis hauls its considerable industrial strength from its formidable transportation - from steamboats to trains and air haulage. Nonetheless, St. Louis' stride has not always been an easy ride. The city has seen a remarkable turnaround from the nadir of the seventies, with tourist destinations sprawling on the riverfront's revitalized area. Visitors are welcomed by Laclede Landing's restored warehouses and the magnificent Gateway Arch. Try not to leave St. Louis without sampling the outlying quarters. Visit the Italian storefronts of the Hill or the jazz pubs of Soulard - and stay because of the city's famed barbecued spare ribs. The city reportedly leads the world in per capita consumption of barbecue sauce. Among the city's famed joints are Smoki O's, where the menu includes barbecue spaghetti, crispy snoot, and rib tips; Roper's Ribs, smoked over hickory and seasoned with a secret blend of spices; and Pappy's Smoke House, known for slow-smoked, dry-rubbed pork ribs.

We really enjoyed the rich history of St. Louis. The free museum at the Gateway Arch was a highlightโit offered a well-presented overview of the city's past. As part of a tour package, we experienced a virtual reality guided history, watched a short film about the construction of the Arch in the on-site theater, and rode the tram to the top, which gave us an incredible view and perspective on the monument's scale and significance. The package also included a riverboat ride on the Mississippi River, where we learned more about the river's historical importance to the region. On top of that, we loved trying local St. Louis foods, which added a unique and memorable flavor to our visit.
