⛲️ All Roads Lead to BBQ

Kansas ‘Que: The all-new trail is a self-guided tour celebrating KCK’s barbecue restaurants. Participants will check in at each stop, collect points, and unlock exclusive BBQ Trail prizes. The BBQ Trail will be similar to the KCK Taco Trail, which was recently extended until 2026.

Follow the Trail: The Trail features 12 participating restaurants including local favorites like Joe’s Kansas City Bar-B-Que, Rosedale Bar-B-Q, Slaps BBQ, and more. Two bonus stops include the NFM Grill & Outdoor section as well as the American Royal World Series of Barbecue on November 7-8.

Early Kick: The 11th Premier League Mornings Live is happening at KC Live! inside the Power & Light District from 5am - 4pm on Saturday, and 5am - 1pm on Sunday. The two-day fan festival features live match broadcasts of all 10 Premier League matches, interactive fan experiences, and special appearances from Premier League legends.

What to Expect: Fans can expect to see the Premier League Trophy up close, meet club ambassadors and mascots, test their skills at Puma’s fast feet activity, take on other fans at an EA Sports FC26 gaming station, and more. With Kansas City known as the ‘Soccer Capital of America’, expect thousands of fans to attend.

In the Zone: The ordinance would double how high a tower can be built, allowing a high-rise to reach 275 feet at 4720 Jefferson St. Currently, buildings must be built between 45 and 130 feet as a part of the Plaza Bowl Overlay District which was passed in 2019.

A New Future: The zoning code would allow first-floor office space without a permit. It has received praise from Mayor Quinton Lucas, who co-sponsored the legislation, as well as from Plaza ownership group Gillon Property Group.

📖 Broadway in KC: The hit musical The Book of Mormon takes the stage at Municipal Auditorium Music Hall starting tonight at 7:30pm. There will be a total of eight shows through this Sunday, September 21.

🏈 Friday Night Lights: High schools are a few weeks into the 2025 football season, and a host of local teams can be found in the MaxPreps Missouri and Kansas state rankings.

⛱️ Al Fresco: Kansas City has eliminated outdoor dining permit fees, which had cost local restaurants $850. The move aims to promote local businesses and improve walkability prior to major events like the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

🥤 Odd Combo: Local coffee shop Oddly Correct recently launched a new canned beverage called Crispy Boi, a combination of Oddly Correct coffee and lemonade.

🥃 Exclusive Sips: J. Rieger & Co. has launched Private Stock Society, a premium membership that offers member-only private stock bottles, complimentary pours and priority reservations, private events, and VIP discounts.
