How does one get the place description and/or place owner?
I've seen it in EISS. EISS is a completely custom API and uses a variable named 'server' (which I have no idea where it's defined, or if it is game), but nevertheless, there should be a way to get the game/place's description, right?
EISS' code:
server.MakeCommand('Shows you the current message of the day',0,server.AnyPrefix,{'motd','messageoftheday','daymessage'},{},function(plr,args)
server.PM('Message of the Day',plr,server.MarketPlace:GetProductInfo(server.MessageOfTheDayID).Description)
end)
Or maybe it gets the product info from something. I don't know, but it works for places too as far as I saw.
I also wish to get the place's owner.
Any ideas?

You could use GetProductInfo from the MarketplaceService, which could return all or any of these values about any ROBLOX asset.
local marketplace = game:GetService('MarketplaceService')
local getDataFromId = function (assetId)
local info = marketplace:GetProductInfo(assetId)
return {
Creator = info.Creator;
Name = info.Name;
}
end
-- `Creator` itself is a table containing both the owner of the place's
-- Name, and his userId.
-- Name is simply the name of the asset associated with the `assetId`
-- passed as argument.
table.foreach(getDataFromId(242293881).Creator,print)
-- > Creator
-----> Name = string
-----> Id = number
