Mardi Gras in St Louis - Advice

Hello everyone, I'm a Brazilian living in Chicago and instead of to go to New Orleans (the flight tickets are crazy expensive now) I decided to go to STL to enjoy the Mardi Gras weekend (arriving in Saturday February 14th - leaving on Sunday).

What's the best things to see next weekend in Saint Louis?

You are going to be outside, most of the time, so when you want to get warm, here are a couple of suggestions: 1) Square One Micropub for great beer and food 2) Bogarts for St Louis style BBQ 3) Ballpark Village in Downtown, next to the stadium. Downtown also has the City Museum (with another Micropub, Alpha Brewing, next door). Washington Ave, has lots of good places to eat, too.

Saturday night, there is another event at the Koken Art Gallery the locals go to called "Naughty Gras", too...

I would check out the Broadway oyster bar down town

Anywhere down in Soulard will be mardi gras madness. But if that's what you are looking for just head toward the Farmers market. Last year we took the metro link to Busch stadium and just walked. That whole area is where you will want to be :) Also, I second the Broadway Oyster Bar!
