Webster Groves

The charming Webster Groves area is dotted with eclectic, global restaurants, from pan-Asian to all-American, while Lockwood Avenue is a hub for hip boutiques and home decor shops. Close to Webster University, the Repertory Theatre of St. Louis stages Shakespeare and modern drama. Amid the area's tree-lined streets and historic homes is the Hawken House Museum, a mid-19th-century mansion with antique furnishings.
