With all the negative publicity St. Louis typically gets, this is a breath of fresh air. I am a lifelong STL resident, and yes, we have our faults, but I have always, and continue to love it here. This video was very well done, and it highlighted a bunch of good stuff that is all St. Louis. Yet, it did make me feel a bit guilty, as I rarely go to the places he recommends, and sadly, there are a couple places that I have never been to! Here are a couple of other STL perks: We have a low cost of living, we are centrally located in the US, we have 4 distinct seasons (usually), the arts are great, and we usually get all the big concerts. Three last points about Forest Park: 1) It was the site of the 1904 World's Fair, 2) It is substantially larger than Central Park in NYC, and 3) It is home to The Muny, the largest outdoor theater in the country, where Broadway-type shows are shown every summer in front of an audience of 9 thousand or so patrons, each show lasting a week, all outdoors.

[@Vickiak03]

You’re so right on all counts! Forest Park is 1300 acres, 500 acres larger than Central Park. I wish he would have mentioned The Missouri History Museum, also free, but completely so. NO charge for any exhibit and there’s a great kids exhibit, too.

[@SomethingSomethingg]

Yeah you have a low cost of living cuz nobody wants to live there lol😅

[@johncconnolly1]

Okay, hopefully, that includes you too.

[@stephenmartin9393]

As a native of St. Louis I watched this video and can relate to all the recommendations made. The last time I was in St. Louis in 2018 for my 50th high school reunion. The brewery, the zoo, Ted Drewes, the arch are all memorable places. St. Louis has a vast number of good Italian restaurants on The Hill. The Art museum is great and I remember as a kid snow sledding down Art Hill. I have lived in Central Florida since 1983 and still miss my hometown and all that it has to offer

[@jsoo67]

I know it's not a thing to do in St Louis, but Missouri has a lot beautiful rivers to go floating on.

[@omegaman9992]

Yeah they are awesome

[@jeffwebb2966]

Absolutely! I made it a mission to kyack all of the rivers in the Ozarks when I was in my 20's and they are so beautiful and the natural springs too. I have certainly been on my share of party float trips but if you see them while you are by yourself during the week it is so peaceful and nice.

You cannot talk about St Louis without mentioning toasted ravioli my man! Regardless, fantastic video displaying my home city.

He probably didn't know it existed lol... but it's the go to appetizer above all at Imo's pizza! Don't know what crazy toppings were on that one shown here, but next time try it with sausage and mushrooms, and maybe extra PROVEL cheese, which is what they use there. mmmmm. Overall a superb video. Also a Cardinals game in the summer or Stanley Cup champion STL Blues game in fall or winter are can't miss stops! Beats Cahokia Mounds by 15 miles! Lol

Forest Park is our treasure. It's an incredible place with so much to do, and there are always fun events. If you ever come back in the summer, make sure to see a show at the Muny!!

[@Sigkeeper1]

I grew up in St. Louis decades ago. Currently living in Central Florida, I was last there in 2018 for a high school reunion. Flying into Lambert Airport, I was met by a dear friend who let me stay in he and his wife's place and while staying with him in West St. Louis county, we toured much of the city and county which brought back memories. I later stayed with another friend who , likewise, let me stay with him for a few days too. Similarly we toured the old neighborhoods ( now with some degree of caution ) which have radically changed. With this guy we toured the brewery, had a bunch of great foods. On my way back to Florida I was back at the airport and my last great meal was at the Pasta House which rivals most places here. Had I had time, we would have gone to a restaurant on The Hill, which features Italian restaurants that are 3rd and 4th generation places that have noteworthy food from the time when Italian people immigrated from the old country to St. Louis.

[@jacobbush8330]

Next time definitely look up the Fox Theater Tour in Saturday’s! One of the few Fox Theaters in the country and it will blow your mind

[@Justin-ox2xn]

Apple Telly parking anywhere in the Lou is free after 6! As all the meters are solar powered.

[@ShadowsEdge785]

@@monoXcide01 Not necessarily. I can usually find Free Parking on Lagoon, just off Skinker, near The Cascades. It can be a bit of a walk, true. But on a nice summer day its just fine. And during Spring/Fall, the road near the Zoo is usually easy to get parking on. Once again, It can be a little bit of a walk, but not much. Also depends on what day on the week. Weekends are harder.

[@appletelly5081]

@newagetojo I'm in Forest Park all the time, and I've never had my vehicle broken into and I've never seen a vehicle that was broken into.

[@scottg9855]

Just depends on far you are willing to walk, lol! It can be found, usually just nit near where you want to go.

Good picks! And there's so much more: get cheesecake at Hank's, eat at Twisted Ranch, and eat Italian in the Hill neighborhood. Gotta have the official appetizer of STL - toasted ravioli. If you have kids the magic house and museum of transportation are also awesome stops. See a show at the gorgeous Fox theatre and of course a Cardinals or Blues game is always awesome. Anyways, great video as always. Keep em coming.

[@gmitchell91]

I've said for a long time that St. Louis is one of the most underrated cities that there is. There's SO much to see and do - many for free. I seriously love St. Louis. I'll always consider the area my second home.

[@Ammaliare_Ashyla]

Grant Mitchell this is my favorite comment considering that you call my home city your 2nd home. Yeah it’s my favorite

[@bradderousse3440]

I've lived here my whole life, and I agree with you. It's such a great city with so many things to do and such great architecture. It sadly gets overlooked by crime.

[@austenklein8004]

@Nice One What are your sources for this? I read a lot about my city too, even though I've moved away. Particularly music history here is famous - I was in a painter's house in Kyoto, she asked me where I was from, and immediately wanted to talk about the blues...Anyways, I don't believe having missed out on historic opportunities to grow to the likes of Chicago or NY would have made the city great. Sure, they're huge but are also saddled with many problems. The site which Saint Louis sits on is ancient. As long as there are rivers and civilizations, the city will always be there.

[@austenklein8004]

​@Nice One Thanks for the links. I myself live in one of those big cities. Personally I don't care about St. Louis' popularity or not, and it doesn't determine the great cities.The river is it's most defining characteristic, and I would rather see it become a symbol of nature than urban-industrial power. The desire to become a great city has brought much trouble.

[@navyseal1689]

The city with the most killings!!!!

[@Jackpotter11]

I’ve lived in Saint Louis my entire life and Forest Park is absolutely my favorite place in the city. Regardless of whether or not you go to the attractions, simply having a picnic or hanging a hammock in the park is so picturesque and relaxing :))

[@csigilgrissom007]

Hello from France! I gone in Saint-Louis with a friend in 2015. We did the Gateway Arch and the Budweiser tour. It was very cool! Your video was very nice and makes me want to come back!

@may day Good advice!

[@stevenhardy6842]

I was really excited to find you went to St. Louis. I love visiting St. Louis for its beautiful, historic neighborhoods, arts, & dining. My favorite neighborhood is the Central West End. Glad you visited the St. Louis Art Museum and City Museum. As a Californian, I enjoy cities that offer an alternative from home with a unique look & vibe. St. Louis is unique & a red brick beast.

[@ThroughMyLens]

Thanks for the comment! Yea, I had no idea what to expect when I went but I really loved getting to know the city. There is so much history there and it is a cool spot to explore!

[@taroman7100]

Yah where you can find them. People trying to enjoy the zoo came out to find there car windows smashed by the gross. BUT we must be politically correct.

[@veot.2869]

@may day Not true. Every place and every city has drawbacks. I lived in the Central West End and I personally experienced one situation. I lived on the North side and there were happenings every day. You can't blanket every area that way.

They cook their BBQ early and when they run out that’s it they close shop. Being from the East when you run out you cook more. You have a great 👍 city.

"St. Louis Style" BBQ is a favorite all over eastern Missouri. I'm from New Madrid MO. Growing up (1970's-1980's) beef and pork were almost always dry rubbed then grilled while chicken was always grilled with wet sauce on it (re-applied several times while grilling).

Great video of my city! I would add the World Chess Museum and Hall of Fame (also the world's largest Chess piece is there), Lacledes Landing, the National Blues Museum, and the Scott Joplin House. I agree that Salt and Smoke has the best BBQ, while the others are as great as they can be. Other local foods include toasted ravioli and pig snoots (at Smoki O's). Imos rocks as always as far as pizza, but some other great places for St Louis style pizza include Frank and Helen's, Erio's and Pirrone's. Again, awesome video

[@kevinmcclain5921]

As a St Louis native let me say great job on this video! I watch a lot of them that have incorrect info, wrong pics of different cities. This one hit the nail right on the head. Plus, it reminded me of some things I haven't done in a while or forgot to do. I did see the comment below - The Muny is amazing and it's the largest outdoor theater in one of the biggest city parks (as you mentioned). Also look at Main Street St Charles next time you come into town - historical, lots of shops and a huge variety of restaurants/bars - although technically not in "St Louis". Thanks for promoting our city as well as you did.

I'm really happy you included some Metro East love in there too! Be sure to check when different fairs/festivals happen whichever season you visit- there's sure to be something happenin' on either side of the river! I hope to hit up St. Charles during the Christmas season!

NO NO NO not metro east.

Great documentary on my city!!! Thanks & come again....❤❤❤🙏🙏

[@andrewwasson5800]

Love living in this city!

[@shadowfilm7980]

Wow! So great to see this. I was born and raised in St. Louis. I now live in Los Angeles. St. Louis is a great small city. Down to earth people. Friendly. I am SO glad you showed Ted Drewes! Great frozen custard. So many times I went there as a kid/teenager and an adult. I would usually get their CONCRETE. It’s a super solid frozen custard shake that is so thick you can turn it upside down and nothing would fall out. SO good. I got the chocolate one. Also, it’s good you showed the Arch and all the areas around it. One area you missed was The Central West End. Near the Chase Park Plaza hotel. It’s really cool around there. Cobble stone streets etc. Some great restaurants too. Love that area. One of my favorites. SO glad you did this video. To help show the city. St. Louis is a good place too to raise kids. Not as crazy as where I am now, Los Angeles. Miss St. Louis. Will hopefully go back soon.

Wow Josh and Amy that was a great video I really like this one a lot I have never traveled the United States and I so badly want to thank you for sharing your great experience

[@ThroughMyLens]

No problem, thanks so much for watching the video and leaving a comment!

[@DRush76]

My sister and I went to St. Louis last fall to visit some relatives. We had visited the Gateway Arch. We also toured the museum underneath it.

[@sandimalssd]

Feels good to know others enjoy my hometown as much as I do! Next time, definitely go to the fox theatre and the many in the summer! I haven't finished the video, but art hill in the winter is awesome for sledding and the symphony hall is awesome, and the movie accompaniments are breathtaking (and ear I guess haha)

[@randomvspro]

Noted down for my next visit. Was there just last Labor Day weekend :). Love the city and everything it has to offer.

[@robertflores936]

I'M VISITING ST. LOUIS IN A MONTH, CAN'T WAIT!!! ONLY HAVE 3 DAYS WHAT MUST I SEE FOR SURE???

[@jeffking4176]

It’s amazing. I grew up in St.Louis, not too far from Forest Park. For some 23years it was my home. Considered one of the most dangerous cities, and yet, tons of things to do all over the area. I live in Jacksonville Florida now. Huge city, and very little to do. Some sports, ( Like the Jaguars 🤣), And an expensive zoo. Not much else. Must go to St.Augustine for anything else.😐 At times, I do miss St.Louis, U.City.... Good video. Nice to see something positive about it for a change. 📻🙂

[@povertyspec9651]

Florida has 100x more attractions than Missouri does, smooth roads, beach, no snow, hotter chicks by far....

…unaffordable cost of living, scorching hot summers, lots of crime, hurricanes, sinkholes. Just to make a few.

Glad you enjoyed the city! Definitely amazing! I recommend also checking out Cherokee Street and the Central West End. Also the Grove is amazing! There’s always somewhere to go visit here!

[@painkillerjones6232]

If you visit with family, the grove is not the place for you.

Appreciate this video, and looking at other comments, yes. You need to try toasted ravioli and visit The Hill! The Mall of America (in MInnesota) actually has an Italian restaurant that serves its own brand of toasted ravioli. Pieces are larger and filled with cheese (where as St. Louis is MOSTLY meat flavored), but they're toasted and served like St. Louis.... with a side of Marinara sauce. I currently live in Dogtown which is the Irish neighborhood. (actually comprised of two actual neighborhoods but still referred to as Dogtown). It's right down Hampton (hello Imo's picture) from The hill, and across the highway from the zoo and home of Turtle Park. Downtown St. Louis and nearby Cottleville have their own St. Patrick's Day parade, but Dogtown's is always held on St. Patrick's day (the others are always on the weekend) and has more of that Irish small town feel. TONS of beads are thrown out! St. Louis also has a huge Mardi Gras celebration in Soulard, and while I think of it, the Hill was home to Yogi Berra and where he grew up. (across the street from the other baseball player, Joe Garagiola.). When Berra died a few years ago, there were lots of people (including myself) and a news station that went by his childhood home. Still lots of things to cross off your list if you come back. Summer time? The Muny!! St Patrick's day? Dogtown! Mardi Gras? Soulard! And now the ferris wheel has opened up at Union Station, which I will get around to visiting one of these days . Looking forward to the aquarium. I fully appreciate Cahokia Mounds being on the list!!!!

[@rainyao6827]

Why not include Washington University in St. Louis? It’s such a beautiful campus and well respected institution!

[@larrylyn210]

What? It’s not an attraction, its a school. You can drive past it and get enough. It looks like a copy of northwestern.

ive been to the arch and the city museum.. its fun in st louis

[@A93_A93]

Thanks Josh.. you guys do a wicked job putting together these City attraction videos!

[@ericstoverink6579]

Finally someone correctly refers to provel as a cheese blend, rather than just fake cheese. I'm not a huge fan of provel, (it's a bit bland), but the "fake" cheese misnomer always annoyed me.

[@bradderousse3440]

Thanks for visiting and covering my home city. I love it. You covered many of my favorite places to go and hang out. We also have a great coffee scene. My favorite is on one of the places you covered; the Delmar Loop. It is called Blueprint Coffee. A great coffee shop that offers fantastic pour overs and has a great food menu. Just a great atmosphere there. One of my favorite places to just chill out on a lazy weekend day is Creve Coeur Lake out in St. Louis County. A great place to have a picnic or to people watch while taking a walk or bike ride on the scenic bike trails around the lake.

[@Dorkydrawstudios]

Also for the city museum, there is a 9 story slide from the roof down into the caves! I grew up in STL and I miss it with all my heart!

[@Charmaine9]

Its a lot of fun. The shoes that were manufactured there used to go down that slide! Lol

Good review. Reading the comments there is so much more to include. But this is a good start for first timers. We hope you enjoyed yourselves and come on back!

Sugarfire is pretty overrated imo, Adam’s Smokehouse is where it’s at. Much smaller spot with fewer side choices, but high quality and the meat is probably the best BBQ I’ve had while living here the past 6 months. The ribs are my favorite, along with the locally sourced Billy Goat Chips as well as the apple sauce.

[@FFKDTP1]

Derek Hanger Sugarfire is straight garbage.

Probably an unpopular opinion but I think Imo's is overrated. Definitely prefer Cecil Whittaker's.

[@lowellfultz1990]

Very good tour amigo. You hit on some stuff that most people who do this tend to miss. I would add a couple of things... If you have younger children, 12 & under I'd say...The Magic House is a MUST! It is sort of a City Museum for younger kids. Also, if you're a railroad fan, (which me and my grandson are) The Transportation Museum in Des Peres is a nice stop, as is the Kirkwood, MO Amtrak station. Still an active station servicing CHI-KC routes, plus plenty of freight action, surrounded by several good restaurants and shops. I also thought you could have hit a little more on Busch Stadium and Ballpark Village. I grew up in Cincy, during the days of the Big Red Machine. I always considered Cincy THE baseball town, but after 10 years in STL, it isn't even close. You'd will be hard pressed to go ANYWHERE in STL and not see crowds of people wearing Cards paraphernalia. The Cards ARE STL, and Ballpark Village has spawned copycats all over MLB.
