⛲️ A Taste of Paris

Bonjour, Downtown: The bakery café sits at 1360 Main St., right along the KC Streetcar route. Expect pastries baked fresh daily, handcrafted cakes, sandwiches, and premium coffee, whether you're grabbing breakfast on the way to work, lunch with coworkers, or a cake for a celebration.

On a Roll: The French-inspired chain has more than 4,000 locations worldwide, including 290+ in North America and now three in the KC Metro. The P&L café joins other new downtown businesses, including CardVault by Tom Brady, Modern Market Eatery, Palm Tree Club KC, and PROTEINHOUSE, as P&L gears up for its 20th anniversary in 2027.

Grounds for Celebration: CPKC Stadium's capacity grows to 12,000 for the final regular-season home match against the Washington Spirit at 4pm. Another 6,000 fans can join outside with a first-of-its-kind Current Landing Grounds Pass, inspired by the US Open. It includes a DJ, the match on screens, food trucks, ice cream, and specials at Revel and Providence Pizza.

Double Header: The first 10,000 fans get an exclusive Current flag, and a limited number inside the stadium will take home the club's second-ever bobblehead. Chiefs legends join the pregame festivities, then stick around for a Sunday Night Football watch party as the Chiefs take on the Seahawks at 7:20pm.

Pour Decisions: Each 21+ tasting features four award-winning pours from the Frankfort distillery, plus stories on its history and craftsmanship, and access to exclusive event merch. Tasting events are happening Friday through Sunday at The Bauer (115 W. 18th St.) in the Crossroads.

Shelf Help: The timing is good news for Missouri whiskey fans. Buffalo Trace Bourbon is moving off allocation in the state, meaning it's no longer distributed in limited quantities. You can expect to see a lot more of it on store shelves soon. No more bourbon hunting required.
