Wed Jul 01 11:52:14 -0700 2009 16524 agent99 1 4821845 I just happened to be searching for some restaurants last night and found the link below. Hopefully that might help. Have fun in St.Louis. http://www.opentable.com/diners-choice.aspx?m=48 Wed Jul 01 12:17:06 -0700 2009 4821771 1090076 bigpeeler 2 4824100 I wouldn't rely upon that list. Niche is number one in most everyone's book. Morton's, which is number one on the list, is one of a chain of expensive steakhouses. It's nothing you couldn't find in lots of other cities.

Man vs Food went there and puked on the shake challenge. It was built in the early 1900's and is a total throwback to that era. Home made ice cream, sandwiches, GREAT BLT. For Dinner, Niche is probably the hottest spot in town. Gerard Craft was on some mag covers, and also nominated for the James beard. Don't know if he got it or not. Also, Sidney Street Cafe for dinner. Near Niche. Both are excellent. FOTD Wed Jul 01 13:05:49 -0700 2009 4821771 107184 FriendOfTheDevil 1 4823559 NICHE.

Also got a taste of St. Louis pizza and some toasted ravioli. Please report back. Sun Jul 05 18:24:00 -0700 2009 4821771 10855 nosh
