    Ahh... Creve Coeur. I grew up there - moved away from St. Louis about 8 years ago. I go back at least yearly to visit family but it hasn't changed a lot. You're not going to find great food, I'm sorry to say, within Creve Coeur. You'll find okay food, but not great food.

    If you want to stay in the neighborhood Bristol's will work. It's been around for a long time - which to some means it has reliable food.

    Lion's Choice is a roast beef/fast food joint and I like it a lot. Very thinly shaved roast beef, much better than Arby's or anything like that. You can walk there from your hotel.

    I also recommend Imo's Pizza. Very thin crust and uniquely St. Louis provel cheese. They're all over the place and they have at least one or two branches in Creve Coeur that will deliver to your hotel for a late-night craving.

    Schlafly's Tap Room is nice. A microbrew with good beer, it will remind you of Goose Island with more character. Pretty close to the ballpark, though not walkable.

    Between your hotel and the Busch Stadium is the Central West End. Lots to eat, drink and see there. Try Balaban's for a great meal, though upscale. http://www.cafebalaban.com/

    And do hit Ted Drew's (http://www.teddrewes.com/Drewes.asp) and eat some toasted ravioli somewhere.

    Don't bother with the St. Pauli sandwich, snoot, or for heavens sake the fried brain. They're hard to find and, frankly, more novelty than substance in my book. (Though my book has big pictures, small words and crayon scribbles.)

    Have fun!
    Did you know there is an LTHforum Flickr group? I just found it...
