If it's happening in Missouri, you'll find it in Clayton. Visit the campus of Washington University with its beautiful grounds and campus. There are many events that take place during the year, such as the Musical Nights in Oak Park in May. There are many areas within the city set aside for a simple stroll or a picnic, and there are lots of specialty boutiques in the bustling business district.
The restaurants cater to all tastes in food from American to French and Mediterranean served among more than sixty restaurants and cafés. At Remy's Kitchen and Wine Bar, for example, there is an extensive list of wines to choose from and even though Missouri is landlocked, you will taste some of the best crab dishes around.
Choose accommodations from economy to the luxurious. Clayton on the Park is a true hidden treasure, but the rates are expensive. If you truly want a luxurious weekend, you can try the Ritz-Carlton, but the Sheraton and the Radisson are much cheaper.

Picnic areas abound for families or romantic get togethers. The Taste of Clayton is one farmers' market you won't want to miss - it was actually rated the best state event by Sauce magazine.
