The neighborhood was salvaged (in the 60s and 70s) by the LGBT community (30 + years ago) and made it a very desirable place to live and hang out. It's ALL gone! It's now over priced with straight Yuppie and now 'gentrified'. It breaks my heart. But most investors know after the gay community fixes up a suffering neighborhood, it's prime for a takeover. That means the original grand buildings will be torn down or 'fixed' to where the old neighborhood vibe is totally GONE. My heart is broken.

Awesome bars/pubs. Worst part of St. Louis is the present day crime and the loss of jobs. We moved away after a plant closing and scarce employment opportunities. As a result, crime has escalated. It doesn't help the amount of people there feeding off the system and then causing turmoil in the streets. A real shame for the city.

It's a new monthly CYE, that is going to expose us all to the fabulous and delicious diners within our great city of STL. Best of all, you get to do experience them with fellow Yelpers aka foodies just like yourself. David one one of the co-owners was the perfect host. You could hear his passion as he explained each item on his breakfast menu to our group of Yelpers/foodies. He shared which were his personal favorites and which contained house-made items/ingredients. Seriously, whatever you selecte, would be the right choice. Nobody was disappointed with their choice and everyone cleaned their plates. Max, this was a fun CYE. I am looking forward to the next diner, and personally, I am hoping to make it to each and everyone on the diner tour.

They were the best this world could offer and I was so bummed that were shutting their doors. And then, Morning Glory Diner breathed life back into the space. They're your classic diner without the classic diner look or overly greasy and heavy feel. Their menu focuses on some breakfast staples like buttermilk biscuits, the slinger, and cornmeal pancakes- all priced reasonably (it's nice when you can dine out and not hurt your wallet). Be sure to make a trip and indulge a little. :)

I really enjoy the Hibernian parade and Dogtown event every year. It's a hokie, noncommercial…read moreparade and street party. This event is a shot in the arm for this areas uniquely neighborhood-esque business district. The residents have parties, picnics, etc. the restaurants have tents, beer gardens, music, and food. The local church has Irish dancing performances and the weather tends to cooperate most years. A good time is had by all. I tend to spend the first half of the day on or around Tamm (the parade route, restaurants, bars, and house parties). As the crowd gets younger, denser, and a wee bit drunk around the Clayton/Tamm corridor, I generally hike it with my group to lower Dogtown, where the restaurants have outdoor seating, live music, ample potties, etc. Since the Dogtown event falls on St. Patrick's Day and rarely falls on the weekend, there is some level of crowd control, which I like. It's still crowded, with lots of heavy drinking. SO, I do have to ask some of the folks with young kids WHY they hang around for hours after the parade is over. Once it becomes a big party, it is time to take the kiddos home. Seriously!!

For those of you looking for an official parade with floats and pageantry, the Dogtown St…read more Patrick's Day Parade is not it! But if you are looking for authentic, local Irish revelry, then this is for you! Always held on March 17, no matter what day of the week it falls on or what kind of weather we're experiencing, this parade consists mostly of flatbed pickup trucks, fire engines and groups of pedestrians. There are also some adorable little Irish dancer girls, Irish wolfhounds and bagpipe players spread out throughout the parade as well. One thing you will notice right away is that everyone in the parade and those attending the parade are either related, neighbors or send their kids to the same school. Normally this kind of small town mentality freaks me out, but once a year it comes across relatively quaint. If you are going to celebrate St. Patrick's Day in Dogtown, be sure to get there early, find a good spot in front (so you can catch good beads), and make sure you have a DD to pick you up!

There's a great variety of dining options, from casual eats to more adventurous menus, and the local vibe really adds to the experience. Each spot feels distinct, and it's easy to make a fun day or evening out of hopping between restaurants. That said, I'm taking off one star for parking and safety. Parking can be limited and a bit tricky to find, and while the area is lively, it's worth staying aware of your surroundings, especially at night. Overall, Cherokee Street is a fun, diverse place for food and culture lovers. Just plan ahead for parking and stay mindful of your surroundings, and you'll have a great experience.
