KC a few times over

In March 2019, we visited our daughter in Kansas City, Missouri again.  We toured, laughed, snacked, drank, and we ate well.  Here are a few of our stops.

We stayed in the Crossroads Hotel.  Its a restored old building that was formerly the Pabst and Pendergast buildings.  Click on the photograph above for more on the history and restoration of this building. 

Check out the candlelabra at the hotel. 
We once did this melted wax thing once with an old Chianti wine bottle.

 

Here is the salon part of the hotel.  We had breakfast at the original hotel restaruant that was very tasty especially the selection of sauages and bacon.  Someone knows how to handle breakfast meats.

Everyone has dogs in KC including us.  Here is our brown Carolina dog, Ellie, and our son's collie, Blair.  

Had supper at Mission Taco.  A must stop, busy vibe, good food, and Tiki drinks among other elixers.  I got the fish tacos with a Zombie.  Yea.

Did I mention, that we soaked down a beer next door while we waited for our table at Mission Taco.  Check out International Tap House for a great variety.

Here is our suggestion - after supper get in line at Betty's Rae Icecream (homemade).

The next morning go to Messenger Coffee Company for your morning joe and pastry.  Did I mention that they use locally sourced milled wheat? 

Hey, the above was just for our morning coffee.  Go to PT's Coffee for afternoon latte, please.  I like their dark roasts.

Okay, that we are all energized with some caffine, visit the local art museum (Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art).  A lot to see so choose your exhibits wisely.  

Now its time to get down to business.  Before another supper in town, take in a round of Tiki drinks.  Reservations needed to get into the controled entrance using the establishment's rules of entry.  Go TikiCat!  Fun and legit vibe.

Taking it to the people.  I'm not sure what is all going on here with this beautifully decorated truck.  It looks like some garden watering gear too.

We did not get a chance to take in this brewery, but it looks pretty cool from the outside.  Strange Days Brewing Company, we'll be back.

Stocked up on rice noodles and dried seaweeds from this very complete Little Saigon super market.

I shot this photograph from a moving car as we rounded the corner in downtown KC.  I admired the grandpa and child by the front window enjoying some quality time together.  Got to check out City Diner too.

More good Mexican food at Drunken Worm.  They have a great collection of Tequila and old style atmosphere in the inside.  

Happy Trails,
