But can all of these projects succeed simultaneously? The Metropolis-belonging, city- and region-loving side of me says yes, but the longtime observer of torn-down landmarks, parking-fine-driven fiefdoms and civic dithering reserves the right to be skeptical.
Luckily, there's always a new restaurant to try in the meantime. And if you're looking for one, here's my traditional list of the Top 5 new restaurants I visited in 1998:

More About
Babalu's, 8 1/2 S. Euclid, 367-7833. Bright colors and a lighthearted atmosphere mix well with a serious approach to the cooking of the Caribbean islands.
Cafe Mira, 12 N. Meramec, 721-7801. Enough people seeing and being seen to fill an entire Jerry Berger column, but they're also there for well-executed rewarding risks like the orange-and-chile-glazed breast of duck and sea bass with potato-fennel puree.
The Crossing, 7823 Forsyth, 721-7375. From the piquant blue-cheese-souffle amuse-gueule all the way through to a finale of lemon-ginger creme brulee, each successive course is artfully and meticulously prepared and always offers the unexpected. This place certainly aspires to a national reputation.
Pueblo Solis, 5127 Hampton, 351-9000. A small, family-run spot that takes Mexican up a notch with thoughtful preparations like a filet of beef elegantly presented in stripes of mole sauce. The basics are very good here, and the out-of- the-ordinary stuff is even better.
Zhivago's, 15480 Clayton Rd., 394-5758. The lowly beet and cabbage are elevated to royalty in this Russian palace, and the rest of the vast menu includes everything from elegantly sliced rare tenderloin of beef to hearty lamb and densely flavored smoked sturgeon.
