The "S" word neighborhood is Soulard, pronounced SUE-lard, in case
you're not hip to the French. But then again, St.Louisans also say
GRA-voy or GRA-voyz (nice, flat Midwestern "a" there) for Gravois. ;)
Soulard is good for the blues and the Farmers Market(7th and
Lafayette, WED-SAT) is famous, though it's been going through hard
times lately. Don't park in the wrong place around there or your ride
will disappear to some pricey impound lot. http://www.soulard.com/
As for dinner, if you're in the mood for hot/spicy in the southern
part of town, there's the King and I at 3157 South Grand. Across the
street is Jay International Food. Nice selection of hot sauces,
noodle packs, oils, canned good, etc. from around the world. It's
small, but nice. The big Global Market is in the northwest. I'm
going there tomorrow, as a matter of fact! BB's (700 S. Broadway) is
great. http://www.bbsjazzbluessoups.com/ Creole, beignets, up all
night. Lagniappe's (9th and Victor) is mellow.
