I moved to St. Louis a few years ago, and I started documenting the food I've tried, neighborhoods I've explored, and just the random stuff I've learned in a website.It has a few features:Food map[1]: a map where you can filter restaurants/cafes by type of cuisine, neighborhood, or rating, and sort by rating or alphabetical.Neighborhood map[2]: a map of all the neighborhoods and parks in the city, and some notable St. Louis county suburbs.I tried to make it interlinked and fun to explore, so you can land on the page for Sultan (restaurant) which leads you to The Grove (neighborhood), which could lead you back to Grace Meat & Three (nearby restaurant), or over to Midtown (nearby neighborhood), etc.Built with Astro, hosted on Github[3], self-hosted map tiles.[1]: https://stlouing.com/food/[2]: https://stlouing.com/neighborhoods/[3]: https://github.com/stlouing/stlouing.com
