For Sam Mewis and Lynn Williams, a Day Off in Kansas City Is All About Dogs, Dining, and the Driving Range

Mewis: I grew up in Boston, and now I really like Kansas Metropolis. I really feel actually fortunate that I’ve gotten to dwell in so many cool locations. I have been very pleasantly stunned with how a lot there’s to do, and the way vibrant town is. The persons are so good, so welcoming.

Williams: Kansas Metropolis is simply straightforward dwelling. There are such a lot of totally different locations I can stroll to and do not need to all the time depend on my automobile to get me someplace. And the persons are so good. Anyplace you go, you may make it your own home, so long as you will have good folks round you and are prepared to discover new issues.

Mewis: On a break day, I wish to sleep in, have espresso at residence, and skim or watch TV for the morning. Simply have a lazy morning. Then I’d take [my dog] Finn on a stroll in Free Park. It is this large, large inexperienced house—I believe one of many greatest parks in Missouri—and it is proper down the road. 

Kansas Metropolis has taken some getting used to for Finn, with the brand new condominium, and he is nonetheless a little bit bit frazzled after we depart him, however he is good. There are such a lot of canine on the staff that he all the time has anyone to play with, in order that’s been very nice.

Williams: I [also] like sleeping in—I’m an enormous sleep fan. Then, I’d order First Watch. Sam has put me onto their French toast and million greenback bacon. I like getting espresso from Messenger. The one downtown has a rooftop seating scenario, so I’d go there with pals and have an enormous cinnamon roll, an oat-milk latte, and possibly a cold-pressed juice. Sure—two breakfasts. Do not be ridiculous.

Mewis: After, I’d exit to lunch, possibly have a little bit glass of wine at CaVa within the afternoon. It’s this little wine bar with an outside patio the place Finn is allowed. They’ve actually cool totally different wines—I believe numerous them are glowing—and I often sit exterior and get French fries and wine. It is the cutest little bar ever.

Coming to Kansas Metropolis, I used to be in a short time instructed about the barbecue, however I have never ventured into that as a lot as I believe folks would have anticipated. I’ve tried a pair locations, and I undoubtedly have a number of extra on the listing. 

Williams: We don’t have a favourite barbecue joint but, which is horrible, I do know. I hear we have to go to Joe’s. So, possibly I’ll be taking myself to Joe’s for lunch. One factor I do know for certain is that I would go to Bar Okay, which is a canine bar, to look at all of the canine run round and have time. 

Mewis: Bar Okay is unbelievable. Finn loves it simply as a lot as I do—it is the best place ever. Once I heard about it, I used to be like, “Okay, sick, a canine park with a bar.” After which I received there and I used to be blown away. It is such an superior house, and so effectively thought out. 

Williams: I do not need a canine, however you do not want a canine to go, you’ll be able to simply watch all people else’s canine, and all people’s so good. I’m an auntie to Finn, and for the second, I will need to dwell off of that.
