digg | Best Doctors 2008Popularity contest? Some sneaky form of paid advertising? We wouldn't dare. Doctors may no longer be gods we worship blindly, but medicine is still sacred, and a physician's reputation should be taken seriously. Choosing the right doctor can mean the end of pain, the start of healing. We don't pretend that this list is perfect; most St. Louisans can name a favorite doctor whose name is conspicuous by its absence. But the company that creates the list, Best Doctors, Inc., does so independently, with no payment from us or the docs. The standards are high. The opinions are those of the physicians' peers. And the facts are checked assiduously. |
 | Power Players: The 50 People Who Run St. Louis Does a beer magnate have more power than a dean who oversees medical breakthroughs? How do you compare the civic power of a CEO with the political power of an eloquent preacher; the power of a brilliant behind-the-scenes strategist with the power of a philanthropist whose money works obvious miracles? All developers make buildings rise and fall—but which of them seriously changed the landscape in 2006? |
 | Top LawyersPublished since 1983, Best Lawyers is the preeminent referral guide to the legal profession in the United States. Compiled through an exhaustive nationwide survey, Best Lawyers lists attorneys in 77 specialties in all 50 states and D.C. Thousands of the top lawyers in the U.S. confidentially evaluate their professional peers. |
 | NeighborhoodsMost of us already know that if you want bocce and salsiccia, you go to the Hill. If you prefer beer and a petting zoo, it’s Grant’s Farm in Affton. Wildwood has horses, Alton has eagles, St. Charles has antique shops and Frontenac, Clayton and Ladue are the place to get spa’d or shod in Louboutins. |
 | Cheap EatsAn annual "cheap eats" issue is to city magazines what narcissistic self-importance is to the Academy Awards: practically mandatory. Unlike the Oscars, though, which serve approximately the same purpose in the universe as CD wrappers, pet hypnotists and Ricky Martin, a feature on cheap eats can be useful. Even the most sophisticated and discerning diner occasionally craves a meal in which the wine list has but four choices: red, white, kinda red and "don't make us laugh." We're fairly sophisticated and discerning ourselves, but we like to keep an eye out for these kinds of places as well. Herewith, some of our favorites. |
 | Best Bargains People who have earned their bargain badges know when to shop (at the end of the season), where to shop (sometimes a trek is necessary) and what to buy (they're on a first- name basis with brands). They also know all the ins and outs of getting the best buy--and in electronics, that just might be from Best Buy. Just about everything can be had for less if you know where and when to go. |
