University City Loop

The University City Loop is an amazing place of social gathering. The strip offers a variety of storefronts from coffee and tea, to tattoos and piercings. Just to name a few, there is a Starbucks, Panara Bread Co., Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream, Vintage Vinyl, The Tivoli (a small movie theater), a food court, many restaurants including asian and lebanese cutlery. This is a great place to come for some Saint Louis culture. Keep an eye out for street musicians and the Sunday drum circle outside the food court. Also, look for Tucker Booth playing his guitar out front of Ben and Jerry's on a nice day.

It's a great place to dine anytime of day or evening, shop, catch a movie or band or just people-watch with a cup of joe or a bubble tea. The University City police department and city hall are the anchors on the west end, so safety is not an issue. It's a relaxed atmosphere where you can be comfortable as you are.
