I opted to stay out of the downtown area of St. Louis, where the #SoFresh conference was being held, during my stay and hang out in a cool, hip and cultured side of town known as the Delmar Loop. Recently designated as "One of the 10 Great Streets in America" by American Planning Association, the Delmar Loop area entertains a wide spectrum of people. With 140 speciality shops, including 48 resturats, 10 art galleries, 25 clothing boutiques and much more, the area is buzzing with energy and excitement 24/7.

The St. Louis Walk of Fame: All along the sidewalk in the Delmar Loop are informative plaques that highlight the lives and times of people who are from St. Louis or those who have had a significant impact on the city of St. Louis. Some plaques that caught my eye include Chuck Berry, who apparently still plays at the Blueberry Hill at least once a month, Bob Petit, a graduate of my high school Baton Rouge High and Louisiana State University and my St. Louis fav Nelly!

Delmar Loop Planet Walk: Tourists and locals can take a 3 billion mile walk from Sun to Neptune along the sidewalks of "The Loop." The sidewalks feature informative markers that give great info about each of the planets! Here's more http://www.loopplanetwalk.com/.
Moonrise Hotel: the signature hotel in "The Delmar Loop" area. Features a rooftop bar and full service restuarant. If you're looking to get a new experience in St. Louis this is the place to do it. Book your next #STL stay at http://www.moonrisehotel.com/.

Great way to see the city. Does Baton Rouge have a bike rental service for visitors? Any restaurant recommendations in Delmar Loop?
