Tucker's in Soulard for cheap but good steaks...and is the South City Diner
still open?

There is that place in Soulard that's a church converted to a resto...it was
famous for a good Sunday brunch...was (is) it Patty Long's? I know they
used to be in Lafayette Square....

Also (depending on the days the OP is there) I'd recommend a trip to the
Soulard Farmer's Market. It's pretty neat...we don't have anything like it
here in Chicago. Say "Hi" to the live poultry for me if you go ;--)

Oh! Ted Drewe's frozen custard!
