Cherokee Street
Lemp Ave. & Cherokee St., St. Louis, MO 63118
Branching out both east and west from the thirteen-foot-tall Native American standing at the intersection of Jefferson Avenue and Cherokee Street, no area has seen a greater resurgence in recent years than the strip of shops, restaurants, apartments, art galleries, record stores and more that we call Cherokee Street. Once upon a time, streetcar lines made the area the commercial district of south city, populated by dry-goods stores, theaters, druggists and saloons, Cherokee Street was more recently viewed as a mostly neglected area known only for its Mexican restaurants and antique stores. Today, the street boasts one of the city's most walkable areas. And, of course, it's still home to the best Latin American cusine and antique row in St. Louis. Whether its Cinco de Mayo, the Print League Holiday Sale, Cookie Spree or just a Saturday afternoon, locals and tourists strolling along Cherokee Street always discover new treasures.
