Robert Morrissey Antiques and Fine Art
The shop has been in business for more than 70 years. Morrissey concentrates on 18th- and 19th-century European furniture but over the past decade has broadened his offerings to include contemporary and modern art and mid-century furniture and design. “There’s a trend now toward an eclectic look, taking the best of all periods and styles and putting them together in your own way,” he says. Morrissey relocated from Clayton and expects to open his doors to walk-ins in early 2019. By appointment only. 704 Hanley Industrial Court, 314-644-7066.

Five years ago, a passion for audio/visual drove Bob Holthaus to start Holthaus Technologies, where the focus is on residential and commercial clients interested in streamlining everything from audio and video systems to lighting, security, and more. “It’s our goal to take anything that falls under the umbrella of smart home technology and simplify it into as few apps as possible,” he says. The company is an authorized dealer of Sonos, Nest, RTI, and others. 706 Hanley Industrial Court, 314-449-8314.

“Whatever an architect draws, or a client sees in a magazine, we can do,” says Dave Scheu, vice president and designer. A recent project called for a mix of zebrawood, veneer, and cabinets painted in a gesso “fantasy finish” that lends the wood a weathered appearance, proof that each project is made to the client’s specifications. By appointment only. 597 Hanley Industrial Court, 314-644-4535.

Recharge at these two stops.
Mai Lee: “You’re getting the same food you would be served in a Vietnamese household,” says owner Qui Tran. He recommends a “fire pot soup” called canh chua dau hu, a lemongrass- and tamarind-based soup with shrimp, fresh vegetables, and golden tofu. Or try the bo nuong vi with beef that you grill yourself. 8396 Musick Memorial, 314-645-2835.
Carl’s Drive-In: Manager Kelly McFerrin says repeat customers are the norm here: “We’ve had kids coming in since kindergarten who are now going off to college.” Order a double cheeseburger, small fries, and a homemade root beer with vanilla ice cream. 9033 Manchester, 314-961-9652.
