Anna Carwile - The Foodie’s Travel Guide

If you haven’t taken your kids to the in St. Louis I highly recommend it!

The Fox Theatre has great shows for children sprinkled throughout their regular season and after. We went to see Blueys big play most recently and the boys loved it! We stopped at next door for lunch beforehand and it was perfect.

It’s never too early to start getting your kids exposed to culture and the arts but I would recommend kids aged 5 and up would appreciate it the most.

How happy Chao Baan makes me 😁

If you haven’t tried the Khao Soi at let me tell you, it will change your life.

Highly recommend the Bleeding Heart cocktail too- it’s the perfect summer cocktail with lynchee juice, lemon 🍋 and vodka. I’m a sucker for a good lynchee martini or cocktail.

Are you looking for a great date night restaurant in st louis? Or maybe a delicious place to eat near the Fox Theater in St Louis?

exceeded my expectations with their italian fare and espresso martinis.

The arancini were perfectly creamy in the middle and crunchy on the outside. The pastas we tried were the tortellini with cream sauce and prosciutto and the basil pesto pasta with chicken. Both pastas were delicious but when i go back Ill definitely order the tortellini again (and try the rest of the menu of course!)

Highly recommend you try Vitos to get your Italian food fix the next time youre in STL. You wont be disappointed.

You guys I am blown away by the new menu at Bar Louie 🤩🍸

They have new cocktails, new appetizers and new main dishes that will knock your socks off. For cocktails I highly recommend the Purple Reign Signature Martini, the Pink Flamingo Paloma. They are both fresh and fruity without being too sweet.

For apps and main dishes I would DEFINITELY make another trip to St. Charles for the hot honey bacon flatbread 🤤, the black bean hummus, and the grilled chicken club. Others at my table like the fabulous spoke very highly of the burgers too like the Truffle Crunch Burger. I will definitely be trying that next time!

And don’t forget to order dessert! They had cinnamon donut holes with chocolate sauce and a whole lotta latte after dinner cocktail that are as delicious as they sound.

is at the fabulous Fox Theatre in St. Louis! Highly recommend grabbing tickets for this iconic musical before it leaves town.

The star of the show was who is an actual songwriter named Christian playing a songwriter named Christian in the musical 😆 His voice is truly stunning and he definitely has a new fan in me. The emotion he pours into every perfectly pitched note is really inspiring.

Make sure to try a Can Can Juice cocktail! We had an influencer cocktail hour before the show last night and it was absolutely delicious. I believe it’s available at lounge as well as in the during intermission.

Such a beautiful night to see a show at the fabulous last night! is a shockingly funny musical tale that keeps you on the edge of your seat.

Definitely not a show I’d recommend bringing your grandma or mother to unless they enjoy south park style humor but it was super entertaining.

The first and last numbers were my favorite musically. The men in the show had fantastic harmony and comedic timing which made the show so great to watch.

Highly recommend scooping up some tickets to see Book of Mormon at the Fox Theatre in St. Louis before they’re gone!

We had the BEST trip to Chicagoland area this past weekend. I got to see one of my best friends and her beautiful babies, have some delicious sushi and cocktails and saw my brother and his gorgeous girls too.

Highly recommend checking out if you visit the western suburbs of Chicago. Seriously all of their rolls are amazing and the Lychee Martini was the best. Definitely planning more road trips to Chicago to visit and try more places to eat!

I don’t usually post photos of half eaten food but when I do it’s for good reason.

have THE BEST pizza in St. Louis and I feel like a lot of people don’t know about them!

President Barack Obama stirred up some drama during his presidential campaign when he declared Pi Pizza his favorite pizza ever. This understandably caused some outrage in Chicago, home of deep dish pizza. This also explains why the only Pi pizzeria restaurants are in St. Louis and Washington DC!

We got the deep dish with roasted garlic and pepperoni and it was the best meal I’ve had in a WHILE. I don’t know why it’s been so long since I had visited Pi but I swear I’ll be going more often from now on.

Highly recommend. 10/10. The sangria was delicious too but it’s the pizza I’ll go back for time and time again.

Mamma Mia! We had a great night seeing at the fabulous

This iconic musical is one you need to see! The theater was packed last night with people cheering and singing along to their favorite songs.

See Mamma Mia at the Fox Theater in St. Louis now until February 18th! Hurry to snap up some tickets before they’re gone!

Funny Girl at the fabulous is only here until February 4th! It’s a classic show with outstanding talent, so do not miss it!

Katerina McCrimmon ( ) is stunning as F***y Brice. Her vocal talents truly make the show and blew us all away. I would see the show again just to listen to her amazing voice. Add in the beautiful costumes and sets along with the relationship drama and it is altogether a wonderful show.

We also had the absolute pleasure of dining at the Fox Club before the show. This elevated dining experience (literally and figuratively) is located above the lobby of the Fox Theater and has some of the best dishes in St. Louis thanks to the talents of chef

I highly recommend looking into Fox Club tickets for next season so you can access this exclusive restaurant experience.
