We had our first date at The Roasterie in the Lenexa Public Market. This location has factory tours and is a great downtown KC spot if you're looking for a place to slow down (or speed up) with a cup of Kansas City roasted coffee.
Grab your morning cup of joe from the Filing Station, one of Joel's favorite coffee shops.
This bakery is right down the street from our venue. Delicious breads, breakfast sandwiches and lunches.
This a great park to throw down a blanket and relax or to take a nice summer stroll around. We took our engagement pictures here in the Fall.
If it's too hot to spend a lot of time outside, cool off inside the Nelson!
Kansas City is known as the City of Fountains! Take a walk around the Plaza and you'll see why. You can also find a place or two to shop here.
The KC Streetcar is a free ride around Kansas City with multiple stops downtown, the in the Power and Light District and down to the River Market. Hop on and off as much as you please!
Joel's favorite barbecue in Kansas City! Be prepared for a wait if you go at a peak time. Joel says everything on the menu is good, it's too hard to pick a favorite.
A KC favorite to fulfill your barbecue desires. A close second as Joel's favorite.
We've eaten way too many of their spicy miso bowls....
We celebrated Madeline's 27th birthday here! It's the home of her favorite Sangria! Find a seat on their patio with a cocktail and tapas!
Not a KC original but their charred edamame are hard to beat!
The home of the KC Spurs (the local Tottenham Hotspur supporters club). Grab a local brew at their indoor outdoor brewery.
A great atmosphere with some iconic Kansas City Jazz. Grab a drink and enjoy the music!
Taylor Swift has been spotted here so it must be cool. Grab a drink and have a great view of the city.
