ADT Monitored Home Security Systems from SafeStreets in Saint Louis

Any St. Louis local knows that this thriving heartland city is about much more than the arch, the Mississippi, and downtown attractions. Sure, the City Museum and the Missouri Botanical Garden are both great places to spend a Saturday, and they're must-sees at some point during your time in St. Louis. But when you want to get off the beaten path on a Friday night for Italian food and a little old world charm, The Hill is where you want to be.

Sitting above the city on what was once known as St. Louis Hill, The Hill's colorful fire hydrants—red, white, and green, of course—trattorias, bakeries, and historic Catholic churches are all reassuringly reminiscent of Italian neighborhoods around the country. But The Hill isn't just a generic Little Italy. After all, you won't find Cunetto's or toasted ravioli appetizers just anywhere in the US, or in Italy, for that matter. Don't try to make a reservation at Cunetto's—just get there early and brave the line. It's worth it.

When you're walking off a big dinner before heading home, take a stroll by Yogi Berra and Joe Garagiola's childhood homes. The two iconic ballplayers grew up across the street from one another on The Hill. While you're exploring, don't be afraid to stay out late while your home's unoccupied. Invest in an ADT-monitored security system, and you'll gain peace of mind that your own sanctuary in the city is safe. That means more evenings of leisurely post-dinner strolls, perhaps with a cannoli in hand.
