"China China" by Zhu Wei is a bold bronze sculpture in Terminal 1 of St. Louis Lambert…read moreInternational Airport. It features two stylized figures that recall ancient Chinese tomb guardians while also nodding to modern political themes. Created in 2003 and loaned by the Gateway Foundation, the sculpture stands about six feet tall and sits in the pre-security ticketing area. Zhu Wei, a Beijing-born artist known for his satirical and socially aware work, designed the piece to explore the push and pull between tradition and modern life in China. The figures wear suits resembling the Mao-era Zhongshan jacket, a symbol of mid-century collectivism. Zhu Wei has called his approach an effort to "modernize the past," and this sculpture reflects that idea. Placed in a busy airport, the figures act as quiet observers and cultural messengers, inviting reflection on identity, history, and artistic voice. Originally shown in the Central West End, the sculpture moved to Lambert in 2014. It remains a standout piece in the airport's public art collection, offering travelers a brief moment of stillness and thought amid the bustle.

Definitely sets them a part from other coffee spots. I hope they continue to grow and create amazing/creative drinks!!! They're blackowned!!! Cons: 30 min drive from the downtown area and I was a little perturbed. BUT they are opening up a location within the next month downtown so that is AMAZING! So although I was upset at first about the drive, I must say it was worth it!!! Support this Black-owned business!!

I decided to have lunch ordered today. I used, DoorDash to order the food for delivery. I had…read moreordered an entree and they had special on their house salad that you get two for price one. When my ordered was delivered, instead of an entree, I received an appetizer. I contacted, Erio's and DoorDash. Between them both, my ordered was made correctly and was delivered less than hour of my first delivery! Hands down, Erio's takes pride, not only in their food, but making sure that customers are satisfied with their order and secured in the knowledge that, they'll go above and beyond to make sure your experience and expectations is ! DoorDash also deserves praise as well! Again, 5 stars and 2 thumbs up is definitely deserved! One last note, always remember..if you're not happy with your order or you received a wrong order, contact DoorDash and more importantly, the restaurant. The restaurant will go above and beyond to ensure your order is correct :)

My fiance and I came here for his birthday. It was a gamble since neither of us had been here…read morebefore, but it definitely paid off! We came in on a Monday night, and the restaurant was rather busy, even for it being after 7pm. We were seated promptly by the window. The decor in the place is rather plain and, well, dated, but I'll never be picky about what a place looks like in the regard. Is it clean? Yes! Anyway, we had an opportunity to browse the menu before our waiter made it to our table. Mind you, it was a busy place and he was the only waiter, as far as I could figure out, so we were totally fine with a delay. We ordered an appetizer, mozzarella sticks, and we both ordered manicotti, one with red sauce and one with red/white sauce. I also ordered a side salad to try out their house dressing. Our appetizer came out fairly quickly, along with bread and butter. Both were great! I wished the mozzarella sticks were a bit warmer, but that's just me being picky. It wasn't cold by any means. Our manicotti came out pretty quickly. The presentation was very boring and plain: it was served on a plate, not a baking dish like many other places. However, the flavor? On point! It was sooo good. The pasta specifically tasted very fresh and was almost crepe-like in texture. Seriously tasty. The sauces were equally fantastic and not bland or boring at all. We wanted dessert, but we were so full! Next time we are totally doing dessert because I'm all about some tiramisu. It was a great meal and we will definitely be back. Don't sleep on this place and don't judge it based on the outside (a strip mall) or the decor. It's excellent!

Things slow down around 4 or 5, right before Taste Too gets ready to kick in. Taste of Clayton offers you a sampling from many of Clayton's best loved establishments and you purchase tickets upon arrival. Each sampling of food generally costs you around 4-5 tickets and can range from seafood bratwurst to crme brulee, a cosmo or a dish of salad. Taste Too is primarily desserts and alcoholic beverages, though you can find plenty of that during the day. There are fireworks after 7, and live music to boot. It's a great event for the family, and proceeds benefit local charities.

There are very few things that can convince me to make the trek out to St. Charles. I'm just not a…read morefan of the area, to be quite honest. But then I heard about the Adam Morgan foundation's annual fun run. The Adam Morgan foundation is an organization that provides support to families with autistic children. Hmm...a good cause? Running? A 7pm start time? Okay, count me in. This was the 2nd annual AM fun run. It was sponsored by Fleet Feet, and it began in Frontier Park in Old Town St. Charles. The fun run featured a 10K run, 5K run (or walk), or a 1.5 mile walk, so it definitely catered to all abilities. Pros and Cons of the race? Pros: A really good cause. Good race support with lots of volunteers and water stops. Cons: If you're doing the 1.5 mile walk or the 5K, you'll be surrounded by tons of people. I see that as a good thing. However, I chose to run the 10K, and as a middle of the pack runner (not super fast, but not ridiculously slow, either), I was alone for much of the race. Seems like not many people (Maybe 30?) opted to do the 10K. I don't mind running alone when I'm familiar with the neighborhood. But this race took us through the Katy Trail, which I'm not very familiar with. And about a mile of the race had us running alongside a trailer park. And running alongside a trailer park in St. Charles at sunset is NOT where this girl wants to be! Yikes. So while this one was a good cause, I'm not sure I'd run this race again. Maybe I'll just donate money next year and leave the running through the backwoods part to the braver souls.

We learned a little more about the area, the restaurants and of course the food. The food was great and abundant. Make sure you come hungry because you will eat a lot. I would definitely recommend Savor Saint Louis Food Tours and will be going back to try there other tours. Thanks Steve C.

Three of us took the Delmar Loop food tour with our guide Tracey. First I would like to say Tracey…read morewas a wonderful guide with so much knowledge of the area. She told us the history of the loop, what's currently going on and what's up and coming. We could not have asked for a better guide. The food is important but having a good guide I think is equally important. Tracey went above and beyond. We loved her. Five stars for Tracey. Now on to the food. I will list what where we stopped and rate each individual place. SALT AND SMOKE- OMG THE BEST PLACE ON THE TOUR. They gave us brisket and Mac -n- cheese( which they just won an award for) I live on the East Coast and we are not known for good BBQ but being a foodie I do know good food and this place was slammin! The brisket was the best I've ever had and so was the Mac-n-cheese made with some ritz crackers on top. The manager was very friendly and welcoming. They showed us the smokers up close which was very cool. They have 4 different sauces to try all made in house and all delicious. Liked it so much we are going back for dinner. PI PIZZA- Being from the East Coast, New Haven, home of world famous Sally's and Pepe's Pizza I have high standards for pizza. This pizza was not what I'm used to but enjoyed trying it anyway. They served a small pizza for the 3 of us which is extremely generous on a food tour! SHAWARMA KING- kind of a dive place for college kids, kind of while in the wall place. Chicken schwarma was tasty and falafel was average. Owner wasn't talkative or friendly but that's ok. I would eat here if a broke college kid or drunk at 2am but not a place for a first date SEOUL TACO- Korean taco joint. We had a beef taco which was delicious and kimchi rice that was also good. I would go back to this place for sure. PICCIONE PASTRY- they gave each of us a gooey butter cake canoli. St. Louis is famous for gooey butter cake if u didn't know. The cannoli was filled to order and was very good. Very sweet but very good. The tour was about $55 a person and was well worth it. I've been on other food tours across the country and this one gave us the most food for our money. I've been to others where we left hungry but not here! If you take this tour at 11 am like we did I suggest you do not eat breakfast! I would definitely recommend this tour if you are visiting St Louis both for the food and to learn the history. Lastly, the picture attached to my review is for Tracey. We ran into this famous guy as we entered our hotel right after our tour. We wished Tracey was still with us when we met him. Tracey we hope you see this picture and if the company sees this review please show Tracey the pic! Thanks!

Christmas is not my favorite holiday but as usual, when it gets closer to the 25th I'm all about the decorations. Not at my house... we have a "glittering buck" with a missing ear and bent leg. But I digress. The lines were long if you wanted to go into the Penguin House or go along River's Edge so we didn't do that. We walked a lot...8,756 steps to be exact and saw a lot of lights...10,000,00... I'm kidding. I didn't count the lights. There were lots of special beverages and honestly the prices weren't terrible. All the s'more areas were being used by adorable families and it was great to hear all the laughter from the children. It was a magical time.

The portions were huge (I wish they could have an option to get half of the amount). Service was great, staff was nice and gave us bread for the table. She also came to check in on us a bunch of times. The restaurant itself is tiny so it gets loud and crowded. Getting into the lot was a bit tricky though so watch out for that. Would most likely come back and try the other food but maybe not any time soon.
