🌱 New Restaurants Open In STL + Mission Taco Joint Gives Back

Morning, friends! It's me, Helen Eckhard, your host of the Daily. Here's everything you need to know about what's happening in the community today.

But first, today's weather:

Mostly sunny and very warm. High: 76 Low: 40.

Here are the top three stories today in St. Louis:

1. New restaurants are popping up in St. Louis all the time — so how do you know which ones to try? This list offers a breakdown of four new restaurants opening in St. Louis. Sugarwitch is opening up its first brick-and-mortar store and is ready to provide the city with sugary drinks, delectable ice cream sandwiches, and other sweets. For a taste of Filipino cuisine, you can visit The Fattened Caf on Cherokee Street and experience a true flavor sensation. To see the rest of the latest St. Louis restaurants, check out the link.

2. Giving to others has never tasted so good, thanks to Mission Taco Joint. During November, customers can buy a Chicken Calabaza taco at Mission Taco Joint and support a great cause. For every taco purchased, a portion of the proceeds will go to Heru Urban Farming. Every purchased kid's meal will result in $1 being donated to The Foster & Adoptive Care Coalition in honor of National Adoption Month. (KTVI Fox 2 St. Louis)
3. If you're searching for a new home, you've likely already combed through all the online listings for St. Louis. And while you may have gotten a decent idea of what these houses are like from the images, you just can't beat an in-person encounter with the real thing. To help those looking to buy a house in the St. Louis area, check out this list of the five newest houses to hit the local market, with information included on the next scheduled open house.
