Travel

Brett and Tessa could talk for days about their Kansas City recommendations. This list includes places and events that are either in the Crossroads Art District, or are a short, free, Streetcar ride away. Please feel free to text them if you want to try their favorite restaurants, shop in the neighborhood where they used to live, or are curious about a specific experience not on this list!

Bars & Breweries

The favorite brewery of Brett, Tessa, and the rest of KC! Take a tour, buy some merch, or enjoy the 30 rotating taps and apps in the Beer Hall. Brett recommends any of the Space Camper IPAs, and Tessa loves the Quirk hard seltzers - specifically the blueberry lemon &amp; lavender.

Boulevard Brewing Company

A local distillery specializing in vodka, gin, bourbon, and whiskey, Tom's Town offers a restaurant and tasting room, tours, and cocktail classes.
