Things To Do
Joe's Kansas City Barbeque
The BEST BBQ in Kansas City served in the comfort of a gas station. Located at 3002 W 47th St, Kansas City, KS 66103. Sam and Michael both agree, The Z-Man Sandwich is the best thing on the menu! Insider secret, the line is generally out the door almost any given day... this is normal and they move FAST.
Q39 - Midtown
Another Kansas City staple. Sam loves the Mr. Burns sandwich and Michael prefers The Pit Master Brisket sandwich. Try the Mac-And-Cheese or the Best Wings on the Planet to start! The closest location is
1000 W 39th St, Kansas City, MO 64111
Parlor
Looking for a bar near the crossroads, but can't decide what you want to eat? We suggest Parlor! This building houses 2 bars and 7 restaurants. We suggest the restaurant Mother Clucker (AMAZING fries) and an Old Fashioned on draft! Located in the Crossroads just steps away from our venue at 1707 Locust St, Kansas City, MO 64108. Fun fact, Michael and Sam were supposed to meet another couple here the day they got engaged. In fact, going to Parlor was the only reason Sam decided to put on makeup that day.
Mission Taco
One of our favorite places to eat in the Crossroads, just steps away from our venue! We suggest you try the shrimp taco and portobello taco. You should always get at least 3 tacos, so the last choice is yours! They have a happy hour and a late night happy hour as well! Those of you coming from St. Louis will find this place very familiar! Address is 409 E 18th St, Kansas City, MO 64108.
Up-Down KC
What is better than a bar AND an arcade? The answer is nothing, nothing is better. Try to beat Michael's high score in Crazy Taxi, but if you can't, don't quit your day job. Find this gem at 101 Southwest Blvd, Kansas City, MO 64108.
Boulevard Brewing Company
A basic guide to KC would not be complete without mentioning Boulevard Brewing Company. A great place for a flight of beer, a tour of the facilities, and a great souvenir! The Boulevard Wheat is a staple, but don't overdo it, you might see this beer at the reception! Located at 2501 Southwest Blvd, Kansas City, MO 64108.
Casual Animal Brewing Company
Speaking of breweries, we could go on and on listing all of the breweries in KC, we truly have tried almost all of them! However, Casual Animal stands out to us the most. This is a very small establishment, great for couples or friends looking to enjoy a craft beer and maybe play a board game. Legend has it, Sam has beat Michael in the game Sorry on numerous occasions here. Address is 1725 McGee St, Kansas City, MO 64108.
Blvd Tavern
Located just steps away from the Crossroads Hotel at 320 Southwest Blvd, Kansas City, MO 64108. This is one of our favorite brunch and dinner spots. If you go for brunch, we suggest beginning with a biscuit and gravy to share. Order the blueberry french toast if you have a sweet tooth or order the chicken and biscuit if you are ready to feast!
Made in KC
Want a souvenir for the weekend? Head over to the Made in KC store in the Crossroads for a shirt, sweatshirt, hat, etc! Located at 509 E 18th St, Kansas City, MO 64108. Another location is in the Country Club Plaza 306 W 47th St, Kansas City, MO 64112.
Stock Hill
Sam and Michael's favorite steakhouse in Kansas City! Located in the South Country Club Plaza at 4800 Main St, Ste G-001 Kansas City MO 64112.
Beer Kitchen
In the mood for a burger and fries? You HAVE to check out Beer Kitchen! Located in the Westport district at 435 Westport Rd, Kansas City, MO 64111. Michael swears by the Bacon and Blue burger and Sam prefers the Brickhouse burger!
