John's Guidebook
Neighborhoods
Benton Park West is an eclectic and diverse urban neighborhood that has transformed into a thriving arts district. Cherokee St is the anchor street and hosts a bustling business district free of national chains. Housing in this neighborhood dates back to the civil war era and much of it has been recently updated or rehabbed. There is a mix of new and long lasting residents. For all of these reasons I like to call this area the vibe of South St. Louis. In this area you will find trendy resale shops, art studios, cannabis establishments, breweries, and the most authentic Mexican cuisine in St. Louis.
