The South Grand plant crawl

Five stops, one stretch of Grand, Tower Grove Park at the end if you still have legs.

The block

South Grand between Arsenal and Gravois is the densest plant-based corridor in Missouri. You can eat vegan tacos, vegetarian brunch, a New York slice, and Lebanese mezze without moving the car. Jay's International is the pantry stop on the way home.

A simple route

Start with a slice at Pizza Head. Walk north to Terror Tacos or Tree House depending on the hour. If you still want something light, Taste of Lebanon will put falafel on the table in minutes. Finish at Jay's for coconut milk, tofu, and whatever fruit looks good.

When to go

Weekend late morning catches Tree House brunch and a shorter taco line. Tuesday lunch is quieter. Several kitchens close Monday — check the directory before you commit the afternoon.
