Eat Like A Lou-Natic! STL's Tastiest History Tour
St Louis, Missouri
4.8 · 67 reviews on Viator
Breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert — one afternoon, on foot, all St. Louis originals. From the diner-legend "slinger" to our signature toasted ravioli, a Guy Fieri fave and the controversial Provel cheese. Plus a few surprises we'd rather not spoil. We'll grab a seat and a bite at climate-controlled neighborhood gems across STL's most enduring neighborhood, the Central West End. Most guests skip dinner. Between bites, a St. Louis local walks you through this historic enclave — where Gilded Age fortunes built mansions and the cocktail party was invented. Hear the stories guidebooks skip: beer barons, the check that bought the Spirit of St. Louis, the Delmar Divide, and the arc of wealth, race, and power that still shapes this city. We don't dress up the uncomfortable parts. Looking for a sanitized Chamber-of-Commerce tour? This isn't it. If you want the real story of a real American city, come hungry.
