If you only have time to visit one neighborhood that will cover most of this, you probably want The Loop (Delmar, between Skinker and Kingsland, give or take a block). ucityloop.com. A number of music venues, several restaurants, and a few wacky shops. Free parking can be found at Kingsland and Delmar, on the west end of the strip, so don't get suckered into the five-dollar parking garage in the middle. For food, Riddles Penultimate is hit-or-miss (the menu changes literally daily) but usually more hit than miss. Blueberry Hill has one of the best burgers you'll ever have, and the Tivoli has kooky indie movies most weekends. If you just want a good meal, try South Grand (on, um, South Grand, between Arsenal and Utah). Less music, more international food. Whatever you're looking for, there's probably one near there. There's a few "nightlife" type things in Westport Plaza, including a comedy club. westportstl.com. For hardcore shopping, of the sort many wives will enjoy, go to either the Galleria or the West County mall; those are the biggest and best. I'm sure the fact that both of these malls have Apple Stores, and that I'm craving an iPhone 4, is purely coincidental and my suggestion is not in any way influenced by this. Downtown: has almost nothing exciting, generally. That's where all the sporting venues are, but the only sport in-season right now is baseball (and I'm not even sure if the Cardinals are home or away during this little shindig). If you're into nightclubbing there are a few choices on Washington Avenue, but that's not my scene so I can't make specific recommendations.
