Springtime is in full tilt in St. Louis, which means it's finally patio season. St. Louis has so many great patios that it warranted two episodes. In Part 1, George Mahe and Cheryl Baehr talk about the gold standard of outdoor dining, discussing St. Louis' most iconic spots, notable rooftops, and newer restaurants with great patios. In Part 2, dropping May 29, they'll dive even deeper into the alfresco dining scene, including hidden gems and honorable mentions. Listen and follow Arch Eats on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, or wherever podcasts are available.

Part 2 is sponsored by Westport Plaza and supported by Opera Theatre of Saint Louis. Parties on the Plaza is back and better than ever. The parties will rock the new green space in the center of Westport Plaza every third Thursday from May through October, 4:30–7:30 p.m.
