OMG in the CWE: Best of the Central West End Food + History Tour
Join a lifelong St. Louisan, foodie + storyteller on this leisurely two-mile walk through St. Louis' fabulous Central West End while nibbling some of the best flavors from hidden gems around St. Louis' most chic and popular neighborhood. On this tour, you'll hear the good, bad, and ugly* history that created the city you see today, while sampling 5-6 "OMG!" nibbles + all the Dad jokes you can stomach at no extra charge. Located at the eastern edge of Forest Park and just 5 minutes from Downtown, the Central West End ("CWE") is the most vibrant of St. Louis's 79 neighborhoods and the only one listed among the "Great Places of America". In the late 19th century, the CWE was the epicenter of Gilded Age wealth in America's fourth largest city and de facto capital of America's westward expansion - culminating in a World's Fair in 1904 that we still won't shut up about. *TRIGGER WARNING: historical events regarding race and social justice are covered.
