ACross, did you ever make it to Oaked in Soulard?

Nope. I don't get down to Soulard too often.

Closet I get is Sydney Street Cafe, and I only go there about once a year. I haven't been to Tony's in about 2 years, and not since Vincent croaked, and he was a friend of my wife's late father. The only other downtown restaurant that interests me and that I have been to is Cinder House. Otherwise, life ends at about Hanley for me.

Restaurants worth venturing east of Hanley for...

Louie on Demun, Acero, Eleven Eleven, Brasserie.

I would add Sidney Street, Planter's House, and Trattoria

Marcella. I liked Reeds American Table, but that closed this summer. On the less fancy and different side of things, I'd add Kounter Kulture, Rooster, Fritanga, Lona's Lil Eats. And that's before we even start to discuss the Hill and taquerias on Cherokee Street. St. Louis, and especially the City, has good food.

I would add Scape

I haven’t been there in a while.

Trattoria Marcella’s wine list has historically been horrific.

I like Acero but that is just barely East of Hanley so I can hack that trek.

You're aware Scape closed, correct? *

Shows how often I go east of Hanley

The CWE is hurting.

I really like Acero. *

I'm the opposite. I don't get west of Hanley often,

except when it's to eat in Clayton (Pastaria, Cafe Napoli). Dining out has decreased for me overall anyway with a toddler running around.

I'll be waiting for my present. *

If I can get the Stanley Cup for a day, I'll invite you over *

Where do I signup for this BR get together? *

The Fantasy Board seems most apt.

Since fantasy world is the only place where I’ll be able to have the Cup for a day.
