I’m going to get downthumbed because this place is full of the recently defined elderly, but you should skip Gates and AB’s and go somewhere that is actually good.

As divided as this place may be, I'd be surprised if even one person on this site disagrees with that statement.

Typically when I voice this opinion, I take a lot of heat from the boomers. And for what it’s worth, I completely understand and respect their place in the history of KC BBQ. I just also recognize that they’ve lived on their names and not the quality of their food for a couple decades now.

You and Gabe will surely have a romantic day at Overland Park Arboretum & Botanical Gardens. Then cap it off with a visit to Sidekicks Saloon on Main Street in midtown.

Since you have film industry history, a bit of local film history to check out.
Kansas City had a film row, center of film distribution, for decades and some of the buildings are still there. I don't know of any official walking tours or anything but there is a map and history here if you are looking for a reason to walk around a little between meals. https://flatlandkc.org/curiouskc/kan...-to-hollywood/ And the beautiful downtown library shows classic and other movies in the old bank vault. Pretty good experience, and in summer they show movies on the rooftop. https://kclibrary.org/calendar/movie-china-syndrome |

How about camping and fishing in the Ozarks?

Hahaha... jesus... so this turned out about how I expected. CP really knows how to deliver when there's low hanging fruit...
At any rate, I do appreciate some of the suggestions. I only mentioned Arthur Bryants and Gates because I know the reputation, I've been there before, and I've seen the decline. We won't be hitting those up. Though Joes and Fiorella's are always in play. Would like to explore a new bbq joint though, if anyone has a suggestion. Any good Indian, Thai, Italian or steakhouses that I don't know about? Figured we'd go to the Negro Leauges museum, City Market, Boulevard Brewery and maybe the WWI Museum. But I like the idea of the whiskey suggestions. What are the better jazz clubs? I've heard there are some after hours joints that might be worth checking out. Thanks again for all the suggestions. It's gonna be difficult making time for everything, between all the hedonistic gay sex, but hopefully we'll manage. |
