Throughout the month of May, we’re celebrating Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month. As a region, St. Louis has such a diverse population, representing history and heritage from all over Asia and the Pacific Islands. In addition to telling some stories of local St. Louisans later this month, we wanted to continue highlighting a small selection of the amazing businesses from people in the AAPI community.
Take some time this May, or any month, to try something new or support a few of these great options. From the limitless variety at Jay’s International Foods on South Grand to Pearl Café serving up great Thai food in Florissant, there’s a lot to explore.
