So there I am, flipping through the latest issue of National Geographic Traveler that was provided to me in my hotel room (on a biz trip to Seattle), and near the back, this month's "Itinerary" is none other than the STL! The page remarks upon a "downtown revival in full swing" and name-checks the Westin (and the Clark Street Grill), the Contemporary and the Pulitzer, Forest Park (and its Boathouse), the Gateway Arch (shocker, right?), City Museum (and the Cabin Inn), Chez Leon (which gets the photo nod), BB's, Broadway Oyster Bar and Venice Cafe.

There's always a handful of places you might add or subtract, but overall that's a reasonably solid list. I'm goin' to St. Louis! (Of course, the issue also includes "America's Next Great City": Philadelphia. Dang!)
