Spend an hour at the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum, where you'll discover the inspiring story of the Negro Leagues and their lasting influence on baseball and American society. As the world's only national museum devoted to preserving and celebrating the history of African American baseball, it offers a powerful and memorable experience for visitors of all ages.

RideKC Streetcar
Notice the streetcar? Ride the KC Streetcar from the River Market to the Plaza and explore the heart of Kansas City. With miles of track and numerous stops, it's an easy way to enjoy local shopping, dining, arts, entertainment, and city attractions along the way.
HomeGrown Kansas City - Brookside
This is Gaby and Dereks favorite breakfast spot in Kansas City. The food here is farm to table, everything from the thick cut bacon to the homemade pop-tarts; you wont be disappointed. If you happen to stop by we recommend the salsa verde pork and eggs and the coffee cake! (it's Gaby and Dereks favorite)
Osteria Il Centro
The first weekend that Derek and Gaby moved to Kansas city, they were craving Italian food. They stumbled upon this restaurant. It quickly became a favorite spot they would return to often. This was also where Gaby and Derek had dinner to celebrate the night they got engaged.
Joe's KC BBQ
The main reason every person comes to Kansas City, the BBQ! We highly recommend Joes KC — it’s the bride and grooms favorite. It’s definitely worth the wait.
