The Neighborhood:
Founded in the 1830s, Soulard is St. Louis’ oldest residential district and still feels like a compact French village—red-brick row houses, iron balconies, and gas-lamp streets. Within a 5-minute walk you’ll find more than a dozen locally loved pubs (try McGurk’s for live Irish music), farm-to-table restaurants, and the Soulard Farmers Market, operating since 1779. Anheuser-Busch Brewery sits eight blocks south; take the free Clydesdale tour or enjoy a biergarten flight. On Saturday mornings, Tower Grove Park’s expansive trails and Whitaker Music Festival are a quick drive or scooter ride away. Expect a lively atmosphere on weekends, especially during baseball season and the February Mardi Gras parade—the second largest in the U.S!
