Tower Grove South

Tower Grove South is the aptly named neighborhood just south of Tower Grove Park. The area is largely residential with two main business strips - one near the western edge along Morganford Rd, and one on the eastern edge along South Grand Blvd. There are a few cafes and bars scattered around the rest of the neighborhood.

Along Grand, you’ll find a wide variety of international restaurants, from Brazilian and Mexican to Indian, Persian, and Lebanese, to Thai, Vietnamese, and Cantonese. There is also Apotheosis Comics, a local comic store, and Dunaway Books, a local used bookstore.

Impressions#

St. Louis does not generally have many concentrated immigrant communities (aside from Bevo Mill’s Bosnian presence and a few Mexican restaurants along Cherokee Street) so it’s great to see such an array of international flavor all in one spot.

It seems like Tower Grove South is seeing a lot of vibrancy and revitalization and is one of the more interesting neighborhoods in the city to explore.
