Amazing pancake house..The food is very good and the portions are rather big. You might wait during peak brunch hours on weekends. Either go early or after noon to avoid the crowds on weekends.

Arts & Culture

This is an amazing place! Part museum, part playground for children and grownups. It is a giant play-place made by a local artist out of an old shoe store. Great for a date at night, or fun for the whole family. (and yes they do make their own cocktails)

If you're looking for obscure museums, this one is pretty good! It is actually in a working Vacuum factory, and worth the trip. There are also wineries in St James, and quite a few antique malls on the way.

Parks & Nature

Not really a trail, but rather the old Route 66 bridge across the Mississippi. About 2-3 miles of walking or bicycling over the river past the historic water towers. BUT- go from the Illinois side. The park on the Missouri side is closed. Take 270 to highway 3 and follow signs.

Shopping

1950s retro and antique store! One of the best I've been to on two continents. Prices are pretty reasonable, and they do source good quality items.
