Things To Do
Verdigris Bar
In the words of Coldplay, “I’ll take you back to the start.” On a historically cold January night, and on the eve of his 30th birthday, Mitch and Koki shared several drinks and a Cuban sandwich over the course of a five hour date. Enjoy the vibes, the cocktails, and think of how they fell in love in the glow of the candlelight.
Cardboard Corner Cafe
Koki and Mitch absolutely love CCOP! They are self-proclaimed, but very well known as, Board Game Geeks. You might even see them if you visit! Mitch recommends Ticket to Ride and Koki recommends Splendor. They both recommend Sea Salt & Paper and Slambo for fun and fast games.
Gram & Dun
After courting for a few weeks, Koki suggested going to her favorite restaurant during KC’s Restaurant Week. Mitch parked several blocks away, likely to have extra time to hold her hand. Koki burst out before her second bite of crème brûlée “So, what are we doing here? What do you want? What are we?” The rest is history.
Fluffy Fresh
When Koki lived in Fairway, she and Mitch had a favorite breakfast routine of grabbing a donut and took turns reading each other sections of “Coffee News.” That’s when Koki realized she wanted to read Mitch the paper every morning for the rest of her life. Get there early and bring cash!
Kon Tiki
Who doesn’t love a tiki bar? We sure love it. Great vibes and drinks here. Don’t forget to check out the Photo Booth on the way out!
Town Topic Hamburgers
A KC classic and one of Mitch and Koki’s favorite ways to finish out a night with (several) drinks!
The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art
Koki gave Mitch a tour here and he was very impressed by all the fun facts she knew. This is a lovely art museum and completely free!
Joe's KC BBQ
This is Mitch’s favorite BBQ spot! Mitch and Koki both recommend the Z-Man!
Jack Stack Barbecue - Freight House
This is Koki’s favorite BBQ spot! The cheesy-corn bake is phenomenal and Mitch’s favorite is the chicken wings!
Brookside Wine & Spirits
The best liquor store in town! Be sure to give it a visit!
Meadowbrook Park
This is a lovely park by Mitch and Koki’s home! Lots of long paths and charming scenery. We love to walk our puppy, Hank, here!
