Anniversary flowers in Kansas City

The dinner half of the evening concentrates in four pockets, which is useful when you are timing a delivery around a reservation. On the Plaza and just off it in 64112, the steakhouse and fine-dining row runs to places like The Capital Grille and Stock Hill. Downtown and in the Crossroads in 64105 and 64108, it is Pierpont's in the restored 1914 Union Station, Corvino Supper Club on a Crossroads side street, Grunauer in the old freight district, The Savoy in the 21c building, and the Jack Stack room in the Freight House District. Columbus Park in 64106, the city's old Italian quarter just east of the River Market, holds Le Fou Frog. And there is the barbecue argument, which in Kansas City is a legitimate anniversary tradition rather than a fallback — Arthur Bryant's on Brooklyn Avenue, Gates at several corners, Joe's Kansas City Bar-B-Que in a working gas station on 47th Avenue in Kansas City, KS, a couple of miles from both Central Avenue studios, and Q39 in midtown. Couples who met at a game are more likely to mark the date at the Truman Sports Complex in 64129 or at CPKC Stadium on the Berkley Riverfront, the first stadium in the world purpose-built for a women's professional team. Couples who met at a concert mark it at the Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts, Moshe Safdie's shell-backed hall on West 16th that houses the Kansas City Symphony, the Lyric Opera and the Kansas City Ballet, or in summer at Starlight Theatre in Swope Park. For a delivery, the rule is simple: flowers go to the house or the hotel, not the restaurant. A bouquet handed over at a table has to be carried through a valet line and a parking garage; a bouquet waiting in a room or on a kitchen island does not.
