good low end liquor
Gin- Broker's Gin and Boodles are both very good, and can be had for much less than $20/fifth, sometimes as low as $14.99/fifth.
Rum- Best is Barbancourt 5 Star (5 years) from Haiti, at about 17.99/fifth. You can cheaper rum, but not better.
Looking for great local food in St Louis
St. Louis is not a great restaurant city, and the area around Lambert is even worse. I would try going south to Clayton or the U City Loop for variety. Both are about 15 minutes from the Airport. The Central West End (CWE) is a bit further. Here are my picks:
Royal Chinese BBQ on Olive, about 1/2 mile East of I-170;
PI on Delmar in the Loop;
Dewey's Pizza on Delmar and North South Rd;
Wasabi Sushi in Clayton;
Cafe Napoli (a bit more expensive);
Pappy BBQ - Olive near St Louis University. A bit further than the CWE. The only decent BBQ in St. Louis. I agree with the other posting - Go for lunch, because they run out of food early;
Annie Gunns - Out West in Chesterfield, about 25 minutes from the airport, and more expensive, but good if you want a bit of a splurge.
2 Days in Dulles VA
I'm attending a two day seminar at the Dulles Airport Marriott at the end of March. Looking for dinner recs within an easy walk/cab ride from the hotel. Open to just about any kind of restaurant (Sushi, Thai, gastro-Pub, Indian, etc.) but would like a place where a single diner would feel comfortable.
Thanks!
