Neighborhood Spotlight: Cherokee Street
Cherokee Street is a hub for antique shops, art galleries, and restaurants. This neighborhood is also home to the largest concentration of Latinx-owned restaurants, shops, and grocery stores in St. Louis. To get there from the MetroLink, get on the blue line at Big Bend station and get off at the Civic Center station. You can then take the No. 11 bus to Cherokee Street and Jefferson Avenue to start exploring.
When you're there, make sure to check out STL Style House for St. Louis gear, explore the six-block stretch of Antique Row, and shop for a new house plant or locally grown bouquet at Flower & Weeds. Grab a sweet treat at Whisk: A Sustainable Bakeshop, a coffee at the Mud House, or enjoy a meal at one of Cherokee Street's many delicious taquerias and other restaurants. Dive into St. Louis's history with a tour of the 19th century Chatillon-DeMenil Mansion.
