The crazy robot across the street?
That's Joe's Cafe, Sculpture Garden, and Art Gallery—the creations of City Museum co-founder Bill Christman. He also happened to help curate our upstairs Airbnb's.
If it's a Thursday night, see if there is a music show there, it will be an unforgettable experience. Usually Thursday nights, usually $10 at the door and bring your own food and drink.

Getting Around
The closest Metrolink (light rail) stop to our place. 5 min walk.
This is the red line, that connects to Lambert Airport, and also the Amtrak/Greyhound station downtown.
Metrolink is not expansive, but it is great for getting around the Central Corridor (Clayton, U-City/Loop/Wash U, Central West End/Med Center, Midtown/SLU, Downtown).
You can bring bikes on all buses and Metrolinks in STL.

It's on Southwest Ave, but it's also Southwest-style diner food. They get a long wait early, but there is complimentary coffee in their bus out front. When you're finally seated, be sure to order some sopaipillas to drizzle with honey to kick it off.
