Two Dudes Visiting KC For a Weekend

[GabyKeepsMeWarm]

So my best buddy is gonna visit me in the heartland.

Lil background…. We both lived and worked in NYC for about 15 years in the film/tv industry. In that world, you run into a million faces, but you also run into many of the same faces and it becomes a very small world, of sorts.

Through so many shows, we became buddies. And we’ve actually probably become closer friends since we both left NYC. Him going to BC, me going back to Kansas.

He traveled to KC along with a couple other very close friends to KC in 2015 for the Astros series. We lost game one, won game two and the four of us had a great time, and they basically joined me on the trip simply to see me be happy about this unique event!

Fast forward a couple weeks, and it’s the Mets/Royals in the World Series. My buddy asks me, of all people, if I’d like to join him for Game 5. Buddy is a Mets fan. He could’ve asked a million other people. But he asked me. I was pretty overwhelmed. We had standing room tix, and watched the game as Matt Harvey carved up the Royals until our boys in blue tied it up in the 9th and then the rest is history.

So there’s some prologue…. Now we’re both nine years older, and we’re gonna try to be “kids” again. Taking in some weekend baseball, adult beverages, etc…

There’s a few spots I have in mind to check out, but I’d like to see some thoughts, suggestions from the locals.

I’m certain to get some easy bad jokes here, and I’m prepared, so if you’re gonna joke about two middle aged buddies seeing each other for the first time in about two years, at least make it good.

Otherwise, gimme some suggestions. Negro League HOF, Boulevard Brewery, Joe’s, Fiorella’s, Gates, Arthur Bryant’s is covered. Those are obvious.

Hit up Missie B's!

I wouldn't waste your time on Arthur Bryant's...shit has gone way downhill.

If you like whiskey, check out West Bottoms Whiskey Co downtown and do a tour. Good cocktails to have before/after. Tour takes about 30 minutes and includes a few pours of some of the stuff they are working on.

City Market, there are lots of places to eat and drink. If you like museums, there is also a very nice riverboat museum there.

Crossroads. Hit up Updown & the breweries. Then take the streetcar and head down to P&L area or Zoo Bar a few blocks over if you don't want to deal with douchebags

Ptlyon hates me. He wants someone to kill me by throwing another rock at my car.

Super weird to go into threads that aren't about a person and throw stones at a person. Dude is mentally ill.

I think it goes like this:

0-19 Kid
20-39 Adult
40-59 Middle age
60+ Elderly

BKS makes the best beer in KC. They are pretty hipster, so wouldn't judge you two making out. Being gay is so on trend these days

Ha. Not obvious at all.
