CROSSROADS/DOWNTOWN Our favorite brewery, it allows dogs (obviously)
BROOKSIDE If you would like to grab a beer before our wedding, this is directly across the street. Their beers are award winning, but mostly IPAs.
BROOKSIDE This is less than a 15 minute walk from our wedding venue. Brookside Barrio is a great spot for indoor/outdoor dining with firepits outside and fantastic margs.
BROOKSIDE Alex took me here for dinner the night we got engaged. It's a family owned restaurant, where they have incredible food for a sit down dinner, or if you would like to get a to-go sandwich or pizza. Bella Napoli is a 15 minute walk to our house and wedding venue.

THE PLAZA One of the best Italian restaurants with KC.
Our favorite jazz club. It's a KC staple.
WESTPORT This is in Westport, which is a cute area to check out during the day. There are boutiques, restaurants, and cocktail bars. Char Bar is one of our favorites because they have lots of outdoor games and allow dogs. The BBQ is good, but not our favorite. It's a great spot for brunch on a nice day.

DOWNTOWN/RIVERMARKET While it's not New York pizza, it's still pretty darn good. Plus, it's an excuse to checkout the Rivermarket, which has cute shops and restaurants. Betty Rae's icecream is next door and a MUST.
THE PLAZA OR DOWNTOWN There are multiple locations, with another one on the Plaza. We recommend the burnt ends and lamb ribs. Trust us.
Hangout on the lawn and have a picnic, do minigolf, or checkout the museum.
The Central Park of KC. But much smaller.
CROSSROADS/DOWNTOWN One of Alex's favorite places to grab a bottle of bourbon.
