What are some ‘must see’ things that show off KC? Suggestions for night life for a guy that likes to be in bed by 10? Local restaurants? We’ll do a little BBQ, but the wife isn’t big on it (I know, divorce is an option).
Ultimately we’re just there for a concert so anything else is bonus

We’re staying at an airbnb somewhere by the Power and Light District, apparently.

WW1 Museum is pretty fantastic. You can also take her through Nelson-Atkins Museum and get a tourist picture in front of the shuttlecocks outside. I also suggest going to Crossroads and enjoying micro brews from different EMAW brewers. Walk through Union Station as it is a KC landmark and awesome thing to see. Enjoy the new-ish street car to get you from City Market down to Union Station.This was exactly what I was going to post.
Have fun!

which ones are EMAW brewers?

If your wife is an HGTV-y type, a walk around hyper gentrified Westside neighborhood might be fun, plus there are a few unique eateries in the area.

Union Station / Liberty Memorial never gets old for me. I could just stare at the ceilings in Union Station all day. Agree with others that the new streetcar is great.

Even if you don't stay out too late Green Lady is a great jazz bar.
Negro Leagues Museum is also a great place to go to.

I'd add in Negro League Baseball museum. River market is cool to explore on weekends. Plaza just because.

Hey friends, I’m going to be in Kansas City with my wife in a few weeks for a Friday-Sunday stay. I haven’t been to KC in like 15 years, and she’s never been.
What are some ‘must see’ things that show off KC? Suggestions for night life for a guy that likes to be in bed by 10? Local restaurants? We’ll do a little BBQ, but the wife isn’t big on it (I know, divorce is an option).

any specific type of food? Some good different spots from bbq are like La Bodega or extra virgin, Lidia's, novel, le fou frog, or Fox and Pearl for a nicer meal, something like Grand Street or Classic Cup for a breakfast/lunch and I'll always plug Ponaks for the margaritas and tex mex but that's not universally loved.
Post by: DreamWeaver69 on August 24, 2022, 08:13:39 AM
My favorite places are Grinders, Margaritas (downtown spot), Beer Kitchen (fantastic food! My favorite burger in town), Q39 for fancy bbq, but Joe's KC is still better to me, Garazzos, and Pigwich.
Do the river market some morning. Roof top drinks at prime social is good for about 1 or 2 drinks. Great views. Also, look into blvd brewery tour if you can.

Keep in mind that she’s lived in a city of 15,000 people in southwest Oklahoma for most of her life, so it won’t be hard to impress

City market saturday or sunday morning. Streetcar to untionstation. I like a drink at Loews.

If you don't want to spend $300 for a meal, ignore all of those places Phil just said.

PAF 2022 and Stone has eclipsed his previous record of elite part invites to 5.Go with your roots, whichever one is located the furthest below ground should be your first choice.

those numbers were prepared and presented by an agency with a vested interest in promoting the streetcar
what’s the difference between a rider who 2x a year drove downtown to ride the streetcar in its little 2 mile loop versus joanne from urbandale doing the same thing, we’ll never know why there’s a distinction. but go streetcar, saving the world one kc metro resident at a time.

Maybe some people that live in rivermarket, downtown, crossroads ride it a lot. if it got extended down to my neighborhood brookside i'd probably ride it to work every day.
Post by: Phil Titola on September 30, 2022, 10:51:23 AM
i've been on Main street downtown ~5 days a week for the last 5 years, and I think I've ridden the streetcar maybe 7 times.

Trolley trail it to UMKC and ride it in here in a couple years!

well yeah nothing can compete with you driving directly door to door. the max is free and runs every 30 minutes along brookside blvd. i'm sure when the streetcar gets down to umkc it will be comparable time difference (although the max runs along Grand downtown instead of Main).
you should try the max sometime! it's nice to have some time in the morning for yourself to read a book or whatever

The Royal has lost all it's luster with these new locations. At least they went back to first weekend in October. Should be a beaut out there tonight, enjoy! Big party to attend?
Confirmed, Royal is about 10% as fun as it used to be. I'm sure wacky has a pretty cool party invite though. Would still take.
