St. Louis Central West End Food Tour

Join a lifelong St. Louisan, foodie + storyteller on this leisurely two-mile walk through St. Louis' fabulous Central West End while nibbling some of the best flavors from hidden gems around St. Louis' most chic and popular neighborhood. On this tour, you'll sample 5-6 "OMG!" nibbles and all the Dad jokes you can stomach (no extra charge).
Located at the eastern edge of Forest Park and just 5 minutes from Downtown, the Central West End ("CWE") is the most vibrant of St. Louis's 79 neighborhoods and the only one listed among the "Great Places of America". In the late 19th century, it was the epicenter of Gilded Age wealth in America's fourth largest city and de facto capital of America's westward expansion. In 1904, one of the grandest exhibitions of human achievement in history happened here - the Louisiana Purchase Exposition (or World's Fair). We still won't shut up about it.
So, come spend some time in the CWE and get a taste of what it means to those who call St. Louis home.
