Explore some of our favorite art places in town, the Contemporary Art Museum (CAM) and the Pulitzer Arts Foundation. We've had countless memorable dates here! CAM currently showcases an exhibition by Dominic Chambers, a St. Louis artist who paints about Black leisure and introspection. Next door, NY-based artist, Sarah Crowner is showing paintings made specifically to complement the architecture and permanent artwork at the Pulitzer. The building is a concrete masterpiece by Tadao Ando and Ellsworth Kelly's Black Blue is part of the Pulitzer's permanet collection. Don't forget to stroll through the courtyard connecting CAM and the Pulitzer; you'll find Rick's beloved sculpture, Joe by Richard Serra.

These gems are less than a 10 min drive from The Last Hotel and are both free.

The City Museum in St. Louis is a one-of-a-kind attraction that you do not want to miss. This extraordinary museum is a captivating blend of art, architecture, and interactive exhibits, offering a whimsical journey through creativity and imagination. Housed in a converted shoe factory walking distance from the venue, it boasts an awe-inspiring collection of sculptures, mosaics, and climbing structures that transform the entire space into a surreal playground for all ages (seriously - just as much fun for adults as the kiddos). Whether exploring the enchanted caves, scaling towering sculptures, or sliding down thrilling slides, a visit to the City Museum promises an unforgettable adventure that will really give you the St. Louis experience.

Blueprint is:

- some of the best coffee you'll ever have,

- the place where we met, and

- is nestled on a fun little part of the City.

It's worth visiting for sure. They have a couple locations these days (yay!), but Delmar is the OG.

Tell them we sent you (if they've been there long enough, they'll know!)

The egg biscuit sandwich. Do it.

One of the most beautiful urban parks in the world — and one of the greatest civic treasures of St. Louis.

If it's not too cold, it'll be a great place for a walk. Feel free to pop into the St. Louis Art Museum (it's free!). Or just drive through and see the Jewel Box, one of our favorite buildings in the city.

The arch grounds were renovated a few years back. It's pretty neat, beautifully designed, and a fun walk by the riverfront!

I mean, if you've not been, you gotta.

French brasserie fare at dinner/weekend brunch in classic digs with a wall of windows to the street.

It's delish. The service is great. The food is always solid.

We're biased - we both worked there for a time. But it's always listed among the best in STL restaurants.

Restaurant + plant nursery. Great lunch or brunch spot while you're in town!
