Ethiopian food is so unique - community share bowls with individual servings of injera bread (think spongy sourdough) that serve as both a dipper and your plate. Spicy but not too spicy.

The Kids will love it!! And so will you. The Magic House, St. Louis Children’s Museum, opened to the public on October 16, 1979 in a quaint 5,500 square foot Victorian mansion located in the demographic center of the St. Louis region. Founded by two volunteers, Barbie Freud and Jody Newman, the not-for-profit museum was created as the first totally participatory museum designed just for children.

The City Museum is hard to describe. A blend between the largest architectural undertaking I've ever seen, an art installation and a gym with a hefty dose of live music and craft brews, you really have to go there and experience it yourself. An old shoe factory turned into a living architecture and art exhibit you and your kids can climb, run, jump and play all over. Nothing is off limits, climb, crawl, and sneak your way up to the top to discover your inner child as you descend the 10-story slide! Shell out an extra few bucks to go on the roof when the weather's nice to catch a stunning Midwestern sunset. Kid-friendly during the day, it becomes more of an adult hangout after 8 PM.

The Hill is a neighborhood within St. Louis, located on high ground south of Forest Park. It has an Italian American majority population, and is home to many Italian restaurants and businesses. The Hill has a long history with baseball, as two famous baseball players, Yogi Berra and Joe Garagiola, grew up across Elizabeth street from one another. It has changed some since that time, but it still maintains an everyday charm and simplicity of a time passed by. Go to any number of Italian owned restaurants or deli's in The Hill and you won't be sorry!
