The historic Central West End (CWE) is (in our opinion) St. Louis' best neighborhood. Euclid Avenue serves as the Main Street of the Central West End, connecting Maryland Plaza, McPherson Avenue, and Washington Avenue with more than 75 shops, galleries, restaurants, bars, salons, hotels, and even a historic movie theater. The CWE is walkable and lies just across the street from Forest Park (location of wedding ceremony). Wild Carrot is also a quick 10 minute drive. If you're really bored, you can also visit WashU SoM (or the hospital... electively only, please). More info on the CWE here.

Some of our favorite things to do in the CWE:

* Runs/bike rides in Forest Park

* Movies at the Chase Park Plaza

* Dinner at Yellowbelly and Brasserie

* Drinks at Brennan's and Lazy Tiger

* Ice cream at Clementine's and Jeni's

We recommend:

* Missouri Botanical Garden

* Malls: The St. Louis Galleria, Plaza Frontenac

* Activities: Top Golf, Puttshack

* Dining: City Foundry, Taco Buddha, The Shack, any and all St. Louis BBQ
