Happy National Margarita Day 🎉
Barrio KC
Happy Thursday, Kansas City! That shaking sound you’re hearing is because today is National Margarita Day. To celebrate, we compiled our list of our favorite margs in the city.
Ponak’s: Hands down the best margarita on Southwest Boulevard belongs to Ponak’s. This authentic Mexican kitchen boasts over 35,000 gallons of margaritas sold.
South Of Summit: Summit Grill’s sister restaurant serves up some of the best tacos and margaritas in the city. Try the Coconut Hibiscus Margarita or the Smoked Peach Margarita.
Mean Mule: The OG of KC-made agave spirits is Mean Mule Distilling Co. in the Crossroads. This trendy spot is the perfect place for a drink before date night.
Barrio: It doesn’t matter if you choose the Barrio location on Martini Corner, Brookside, Red Bridge, or Briarcliff, this place offers the best patio in KC and a great selection of margs for any fan.
El Patron: This spot offers a massive patio where they serve an award-winning margarita made of Pancho Villa Tequila.
Business
Where Eastern Meets Midwest
Eastern Airlines
Eastern Airlines will make Kansas City its new headquarters, bringing several new jobs to the area.
Manifest Destiny: Eastern Airlines, a domestic and international cargo airline, announced this week that it will make Kansas City its new home, adding 165 new jobs to the area.
Renovate Then Innovate: The $4.7M investment will improve upon a facility that the company purchased in 2021 to overhaul planes as well as a new office space across I-29 at 11500 Ambassador Road.
Working It!: One deciding factor in landing Eastern Airlines was the Missouri Works Program which will give the airline access to capital through withholdings or tax credits for job creation.
While no timeline has been set for the move to be completed, the company has pledged to create around 165 jobs for maintenance professionals, pilots, and flight operations roles with an average salary of $96,000.
