If you’re a true foodie who likes to branch out from standard restaurant fare, there’s an event for you at The 9th Annual International Dine Around: Taste of South Grand on Thursday. The South Grand neighborhood is famed for its assortment of ethnic cuisine options. If you are up for another taste, check out the Taste of Maplewood Street Festival! In its 7th year now, it brings together foodies, shoppers and music lovers to enjoy the bites, sights and sounds of a city known for everything hip and happening! Also on Thursday, master stargazer Neil deGrasse Tyson will be at the Peabody Opera House. The event is in connection with the release of his new book, Astrophysics for People in a Hurry. The inspiring and relevant rock musical RENT is at The Fabulous Fox on Friday. And if you or the kids enjoy all things Superman, Batman, and other larger-than-life characters, the Sci-Fi Superheroes will be in concert at the St. Louis Symphony, also on Friday. Get ready for a fun Saturday… This is opening night for Madame Butterfly — a moving story about a Japanese geisha and an American soldier — at Opera Theatre of Saint Louis. The Annie Malone May Day Parade & Festival brings the streets to life downtown — the parade is the oldest African-American parade in the nation and the biggest fundraiser for Annie Malone Children and Family Service Center. Get out!
