Gateway to a great time
Toasted ravioli at Charlie Gitto's on The Hill, a Cardinals game at Busch (the cathedral of baseball), Pappy's Smokehouse for ribs, the Anheuser-Busch brewery tour with Clydesdales, and a Soulard bar crawl ending at McGurk's. Ballpark Village if the group wants it loud. Brick-and-bourbon bachelor — Midwestern but with real teeth.
