About this title

From the Author:

Explore beyond the Arch with this most complete guidebook.
I thought I had seen it all. Done it all. Everything there was to do in St. Louis. Hey, I've lived here all my life. But was I in for a shock. It took just ten minutes of research to make me realize that there is so much more to the St. Louis I thought I knew.

Thinking further, that made absolute sense. We all live in our own communities and tend to our daily routines. When we do any hometown sightseeing, we normally hit the usual suspects -- here, the Zoo, the Arch, the Science Center and the Art Museum -- because that's where the out-of-town company wants to go. And, face it. It's easy. It's what we know.

But there's so much more to St. Louis. There are a number of fascinating neighborhoods, each one with its own personality; each with incredible places to see, shop and, especially, eat.

Many people don't realize it, but St. Louis is a virtual restaurant mecca. From American to Italian to Indian to Vietnamese and Thai cuisines, from home-grown hot dog and hamburger holes-in-the-wall to the finest gourmet dining spots, St. Louis restaurants rival those anywhere.

You'll find a range of fabulous restaurant suggestions in CitySmart Guidebook: St. Louis. But that's just a start. This book is also loaded with hundreds of places to stay and play, see and do, explore and discover. Filled with shopping areas, night spots, museums, theater and concert stops, hotels, parks, kid stuff, attractions, sports and recreation information, CitySmart Guidebook: St. Louis is the only complete and current guidebook to the St. Louis Metropolitan Area.

Whether you live here or you're coming in for a visit, it's well worth investing a few bucks for this book. You'll probably even save some money. Once you look inside, you'll notice just how many free museums, sites and attractions St. Louis has to offer. And I'm not talking about trivial, time-wasting side-trips, either. I'm talking about important sites like Laumeier Sculpture Park, U.S. Grant National Historic Site, Grant's Farm, the Federal Reserve Bank, Scott Air Force Base and Anheuser-Busch Tours, not to mention the Zoo, the Science Center, the Art Museum and the History Museum. You could spend a couple months in St. Louis, see a new site every day, and not spend a single cent on admission fees.

To say I've learned a lot from writing this book is a vast understatement. To say I've had fun discovering all these new places can't begin to tell the story. Whether you live in St. Louis or you're planning to visit here, I encourage you to explore beyond the Arch and do this city justice.

I'd love to hear any comments you have about CitySmart Guidebook: St. Louis. Feel free to post what's been most helpful to you or post any suggestions that could be helpful to me. Thanks.
