May 6th is a Friday
And you know that means the
on-going celebration party in the Crossroads called First Fridays. Adding to the
hullabaloo is the grand opening of the KC Streetcar that day. Several fine
restaurants in the area are adding to your enjoyment:
• Pierpont's has extended its happy hour this Friday –
it starts at 11 a.m., woohoo, in their bar and extends to their indoor patio at
4 p.m. with piano music starting around 5 p.m. And they’re shucking up $2
oysters from 4 p.m. to close!
• Nara celebrates with live music by Matthew Shoaf and
their Happy Hour with its extensive menu and cheap drinks starts at 3 p.m. and
lasts until 6. Stay until 9 p.m. and see their unique sushi live display. We
won’t describe it further.
• Tom's Town Distillery and Ruins Pub are neighboring
up to celebrate the opening of the KC Streetcar by hosting a concert and
outdoor party with live and DJ music, a draft tent sponsored by Ruins and mixed
libations by Tom’s Town, and plenty of delicious food. There’s a breakdancing
Boy Battle and live mural paintings, too. The fun begins at 6 p.m. on 17th and
Main.
May 7th – Ride, Baby,
Ride
Whether you’re a true
equestrian or not, watching the Kentucky Derby is always fun. The people, the
hats, the mint juleps, and oh, yes, the horses with their entertaining names
and colors. Be at any one of these three places by 4 p.m. and you’ll feel
you’re at Churchill Downs by the time it’s over at 7:30:
• Espirito do Sul, even though it’s Brazilian by way of
Overland Park, is celebrating big time – just as much as if it were soccer.
Their Facebook page will soon have their special menu. But it’s always a party
at Espirito.
• Jax Fish House & Oyster Bar in the Plaza is
serving their happy hour menu from 3-6 p.m. on this horse loving day, frosty
mint juleps for just $6, and ½ price BTG champagne for ladies wearing Derby
hats. Their giant screen puts the action close. For your reservation, call 816.
437.7940. And guys, break out that derby and bowtie – it’s your chance to look
like the music man without having to sing.
• Sullivan's Steakhouse in Leawood adds live music to
their celebration. Call them at 913.345.0800 to find out more.
So put May 7th down on your
calendar as a day to celebrate, too.
