City & Culture
The Central West End, named by the American Planning Association as one of America’s Top 10 Neighborhoods, features an exciting mix of St. Louis’ best dining, entertainment, shopping and nightlife in a setting where delightful discoveries and impromptu adventures just happen.
The CWE is a growing neighborhood rich with history, ready to embrace the changing urban environment. In an atmosphere of historic St. Louis architecture and pedestrian- and bike-friendly streets, you’ll find great places to shop, dine and explore. Home to some of St. Louis’s oldest shops, one-of-a-kind businesses and unique attractions such as The World Chess Hall of Fame, the CWE is often described as ‘urban eclectic.’ The charming people and places of the CWE evoke a feeling of community and create a sense of place throughout the neighborhood — a neighborhood with endless energy.
Euclid Avenue serves as the Main Street of the Central West End, connecting Maryland Plaza, McPherson Avenue and Washington Avenue with more than 125 shops, galleries, restaurants, bars, salons, hotels and other businesses. All walks of life happily co-exist on the streets of the Central West End, from art lovers, foodies and shoppers, to students, residents and our four-legged friends — there is something for everyone in this one-of-a-kind urban setting.
