A great place to eat: We asked for a restaurant suggestion as we were leaving the Anheuser-Busch tour and were told about Joanie’s Pizzeria in the Soulard neighborhood. A hidden gem that we would have never discovered without asking advice from the locals.

Before you go: Definitely check schedules for Grant’s Farm and the rooftop of City Museum ahead of time. Normal operating schedule is only spring to fall.

A moment: When the chocolate chip pancakes arrived with a whipped cream smiley face on top! My 6-year-old declared it the “best breakfast she had ever had!”

Would you go back? Absolutely! My girls ask all the time when we are going to visit the City Museum again!
