The Loop is a vibrant, eclectic six-block neighborhood filled with dining, shopping, music and entertainment choices. It includes more than 140 specialty shops, 48 multi-national restaurants, 14 entertainment and music venues, 25 clothing boutiques, 26 unique/gift stores, and 10 galleries.
Named after the streetcars that “looped around” to return to St. Louis more than a century ago, today The Loop is recognized as “One of the 10 Great Streets in America” by the American Planning Association.
