Death in the Afternoon
(808 Chestnut Street; 314-621-3236)
The all-glass-clad Death in the Afternoon brings the outside in with its views of the unique and City Garden and downtown St. Louis. Savor some of the best ramen around, grab a Cubano or a grass-fed burger, or even come for dinner now and feast on meatballs. (Yes, meatballs — that's the menu now that they've launched evening hours.) Don’t forget to save room for the walnut cream cheese brownie baked with Civil Life American Brown Ale.
