We know sometimes you can get sick of eating but still want to go out. Clayton offers some alternative activities to eating too.

1. There’s a nice ice rink located at 217 South Brentwood Blvd. on the edge of Shaw Park.

2. Sick of Schnucks? There’s a Straub’s, the overpriced but fun supermarket in the area, at 8282 Forsyth Blvd.

3. The St. Louis Artists’ Guild and Galleries is at 2 Oak Knoll Park. It’s currently showing an exhibit called Sound and Vision (on display until March 17) and more importantly it’s free!

4. If you’re looking for a picnic place other than Forest Park, Shaw Park is in nearby Clayton too and has 16 paved picnic areas.

5. Check out the Wine and Cheese Place at 7435 Forsyth Blvd. for unusual beers, wine and cheese.

6. Visit the Centene Plaza office building at 7700 Forsyth Blvd. (best at night) with its rainbow parking garage, outdoor fireplace and tinkling lit fountain.
