Check back then for all the details.
Enjoy Brunch on the Patio | Kingside Diner
All Weekend Long
One of the Central West End’s most prominent patios is no longer vacant! Kingside Diner is now open at their new location on the corner of Maryland and Euclid (236 N Euclid). All your favorite dishes are still available (like the Meat Me in St. Louis skillet) and you’ve also got some new options to explore “After Dark” — they are now open until 11 p.m., Wednesday through Saturday. Check out their new digs this weekend and enjoy brunch (or dinner) on the patio.
Enjoy a Sweet Treat & Help Make a Difference | Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams
All Weekend Long
Have you heard the news? Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams has collaborated on a limited-edition flavor with the one-and-only Dolly Parton! Strawberry Pretzel Pie is their ode to the Queen of Country and a throwback to the triple decker pie from the potlucks of our youths. Layers of salty pretzel streusel, subtly sweet and effortlessly tangy cream cheese ice cream, and lipstick red strawberry sauce. This flavor will benefit Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, a book gifting program that gives free books to children from birth to age five. Don’t miss your chance to try this sweet treat before it’s gone!
