The Delmar Loop has been designated as, "One of The 10 Great Street in America" by the American Planning Association (APA). This vibrant 6-block area, spanning both the city and county lines, includes 140 specialty shops, 48 multi-national restaurants, 14 entertainment and music venues, 25 clothing boutiques, 26 unique/gift stores, and 10 galleries.

The Loop is known for satisfying every shopaholic's thirst and craving. From vintage vinyl to exotic flowers, a diverse array of shops and boutiques promises you’re bound to find something you'll like.

Most shops are open until 10pm, so you can spend your day shopping The Loop's unique and eclectic boutiques, dining at our fabulous restaurants – Moonrise's own Eclipse Restaurant was named Best New Restaurant in 2009! – and still have time to take in some of the live entertainment!

Our Manager of Desires, Liz Hoffner, shares some of her favorites:

Soul for your Sole and Blues
"Because who doesn't love shoes?! They have the latest styles that are comfortable, well made, and don’t break the budget. They also have a great selection of accessories, clothing and denim."

City Sprouts
"The coolest kids store in St. Louis. City Sprouts offers a selection of stylish eco-friendly toys and clothing to deck out your tot."

Phoenix Rising
"If you are looking for that perfect gift for your eclectic friend, this is the place. Phoenix Rising has a great selection of jewelry, cards, and random gifts for every occasion."

Avalon Exchange
"The best way to go green with your clothing is to shop at the hippest resale shops. At Avalon you can buy, sell, and trade the latest fashion. It is like shopping in your best friend's closet for next to nothing."
