So, this weekend we headed down to St. Louis to meet up with some friends.   We left Friday morning and took a nice tour of the midwest.  The best part of the drive is we got eat at Culvers.  Now, I know  In and Out and burger is the next best thing to free money, but in the Midwest that is our version.  The burgers are cooked in nothing but fatty butter, but the best menu item is the custard shakes.  They are soooo good.  I always get the same, vanilla custard shake with cookie dough. 

I have been to St. Louis before and it is a really great city.  They have an area called the Central West End, which is basically there version of SoHo.  It has a ton of bars and restaurants, and the neighborhood is just great.  The best part of St. Louis is that it is home to Anheuser-Busch, so there is just alcohol sold everywhere.  Washington University is one of the few wet campuses in the country.  There is this amazing bar in the Central West End called Brennan’s.  Basically Brennan’s is an old speak easy that is now a bar/cigar bar.  But the coolest part is if you walk past the front desk down the basement steps, they actually have a hidden scotch bar, which is in the same space as the original.

Check out both.
