Where can we get groceries?

Schnucks Grocery is about 2.6 miles away and offers grocery delivery, so you can fill the fridge before you even arrive.

Where do we eat?

You won't have to go far. Parker's Place sits just 3 blocks from a great little cluster of restaurants — Matriarcha, JQ's on High St., and Prison Brews among them — with another 5 blocks or so opening up even more of downtown's dining scene, from The Grand to Coffee Zone, High Rise, Arris' Pizza, and more.
