Your Perks: 1) A massive block of pink Himalayan salt that makes steak taste amazing. (It does a number on shrimp, too.) 2) 50% off a pair of powerful wireless headphones. 3) 25% off a box of cocktails in chocolate form. Give them to Mom. Maybe.
In the distant future, high-speed rail will connect Chicago to St. Louis. But until then, there’s this: The Next Move—UrbanDaddy’s free, award-winning app—now live in St. Louis. You tell us who you’re with and what you’re craving (toasted ravioli, perhaps), and we’ll tell you where to go. Let’s see Amtrak do that.
The High Noon Saloon celebrates its first year the way any Old West bar would: with booze. Specifically, $1 rum cocktails and access to the city’s only keg of Lagunitas’s latest fusion ale (dubbed Couch Trippin’). Plus, there’s a live rock band, which goes well with booze.
The right sandwich at the right time. It’s saved your life on more than one occasion. Related: Bottlefork is now offering salvation with a new post-midnight, all-grilled-cheese menu. It includes three kinds of gooiness, including a Spam & Jack—which kind of sounds like a ’90s sitcom.
If you’re in the mood for a little predinner dessert, swing by this pop-up chocolate boutique at NoMi. It’s just off the main lobby and is well stocked with all manner of chocolate: bonbons, éclairs, lollipops and enrobed nuts. Excuse us while we blush. Éclairs have that effect on us.
This avant-garde exhibit focuses on artwork showing the sexy side of sci-fi. Opening night will include cocktails, appetizers, pole dancers and a burlesque troupe specializing in erotic re-creations of André Le Nôtre’s 17th-century garden design. We’re kidding, they specialize in science fiction. Almost had you.
