Stepping Out

Stepping Out: Bobo Noodle House

Friday, November 13, 2009 || Kate Gallagher

Bobo Noodle House is the perfect solution for the hungry Washington University student who is in the mood for a special meal but not willing to brave the cold for too long.

Stepping Out: Rasoi

Friday, November 06, 2009 || Netta Sadovsky

As the cold bit at our ears after we parked the car, our huddled group entered a wave of warmth named Rasoi. The air in this sanctuary-esque restaurant was filled with the alluring smells of Indian spices. We took a minute to observe the colorful room and the crowds of guests devouring mounds of curries before the hostess led our thawing party to a table in the back of the restaurant.

Stepping Out | Culpeppers

Friday, October 30, 2009 || Paula Lauris

For college students, there are three important things to consider when eating out: how good the food is, how cheap it is and how much you can take back with you to put in your fridge.

Stepping Out: Café Osage

Friday, October 23, 2009 || Netta Sadovsky

When the sun came out the other day, pushing aside the ugliness of the recent damp and cold, it reminded me of my experience at Café Osage. This breakfast and lunch joint on the other side of Forest Park is the antithesis of fried and heavy.

Stepping Out: The Drunken Fish

Friday, October 09, 2009 || Kate Gallagher

Red- and black-colored walls and dim lighting provided by small candles on the hardwood tables added to the sleek and stylish feel, while the friendly waitstaff accentuated the restaurant’s pleasant vibe. The Drunken Fish has an extensive, almost overwhelming menu, with plenty of sushi options, as well as dinner dishes, desserts and cocktails.

Soulard Farmers Market

If you live in the Village or on the South 40, the thought of regularly paying 75 cents for an apple and almost $9 for a box of cereal is no longer absurd. While the apple is probably bruised and not of your favorite variety, you’ve learned to take what you can get. And as you bite into it, it smooshes a little under your teeth, and you have to tell yourself, “Keep eating the apple. Just don’t think about it,” trying to ignore the cognitive dissonance emanating from the price-to-quality ratio.

Fountain on Locust

Upon arriving at Fountain on Locust, I thought I was standing outside a classic French chocolaterie. From the architecture and inviting sign advertising to their ice cream and classic cocktails, everything maintained a distinct French flair.

Winslow’s Home

Friday, September 18, 2009 || Netta Sadovsky

A warmth entered my heart as I stepped into Winslow’s Home, a little restaurant and store located just west of the Delmar Loop. The aura of the place is a mix between home away from home and small-town convenience store.

House of India

Friday, September 11, 2009 || Kate Gallagher

Every day from 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., House of India holds a lunch buffet. Classic Indian dishes are offered in addition to a few unique ones you may not have tried before.

Coco Louco Brasil

Friday, September 04, 2009 || Hana Schuster

Everyone loves good food—so it’s no secret that if a restaurant offers delicious meals, it will attract attention. But it’s the restaurants that go above and beyond this standard that are harder to find. That’s right, I’m talking about good service.
Coco Louco Brasil, the Central West End’s new Brazilian churrascaria, features exceptional food and a [...]
