Like a picture out of a Victorian novel, Lafayette Park’s flowers, natural grasses, towering trees, waterfalls, fountains and iconic iron bridges provide a peaceful backdrop to the city.

Within Lafayette there are craft breweries; specialty shops; Park Avenue Coffee, which features original small-batch blends; quirky and one-of-a-kind restaurants; yoga and art studios; wine, chocolate and rooftop bars; a bistro; and a must try ice creamery.

If you are lucky enough to be in the city at the right time, there are annual neighborhood festivities that are fun to visit including an antique fair (June); Cocktails on the Plaza (July); Movies in Lafayette Park (summer); Taste of Lafayette (August); Tour De Lafayette/Gateway Cup Bike Race (Friday before Labor Day); Tricks & Treats on Park (Saturday before Halloween); the Holiday Tree Lighting (second Saturday in December); and the Holiday Market (second Sunday in December), which features roasted chestnuts, spirits and crafts.

Take a walk through the neighborhood and admire the 150-year-old two and three story Victorian mansions commonly referred to as the “painted ladies,” surrounding the lush 30-acre Lafayette Park, the oldest urban park west of the Mississippi. There is something for everyone to enjoy in beautiful Lafayette just 2 miles from Downtown St. Louis.
