About this Neighborhood

Benton Park West sits in South St. Louis City near the lively Cherokee Street corridor, a neighborhood knit together from two historic districts in the 1970s. Its 23 restaurants draw an enthusiastic Yelp crowd rating it 4.7 across more than 7,000 reviews, with cross-neighborhood favorites Blues City Deli, Egg and Lona's Lil Eats leading the way. Seven parks and a pair of courts give the historic streets plenty of green, and seven grocers cover the essentials. Foursquare tastes capture the area's character, mixing Mexican kitchens, a bakery, an antique store and a run of bars from a whisky spot to a dive.
