THE NORTHLAND
Upstream and unique experiences along the Missouri River
Grab a paddle and challenge a friend in pickleball, the fastest growing sport in America and the
starring attraction at Chicken N Pickle-a chef-driven concept offering rotisserie chicken, skyline
views and eight pickleball courts.
Rewind to simpler times at Zona Rosa, a community of shopping and entertainment built around a
town square. Each winter, larger-than-life crowns welcome the holiday season in high fashion.
The Northland knows its beer. Cinder Block Brewery is the foundation of that notion, delivering
serious beer and a laid-back taproom. Stop in for a pint, from a tart cherry cider to
the complex and chocolatey Pavers Porter.

Mom-and-pop shops are
the mainstay in these
storied districts
A veritable paradise for craft beer
enthusiasts, Bier Station was the
Midwest's first combo beer bar/
bottle shop. It features a diverse
rotating tap list, a stable of go-to
bar bites and classic board games.
Brookside's STUFF is a store as
colorful as it is eclectic. The sisterrun shop is equal parts boutique
and gallery, with art and products
sourced from across the country.

THE BOTTOMS
KC's comeback kid, where hipsters vibe and shoppers thrive
Thrifty pickers flock here each month for First Weekends, when antique sellers open their shop
doors for the masses. Do-it-yourselfers and retro furniture fiends alike love R.B. Martin's Vintage
for its recycled, renewed and homemade decor.
Focused on humanely raised meats and "damn good eating," The Local Pig is an East Bottoms
butcher shop with a wide selection of steaks, roasts, chops, sausages, burgers and charcuterie.
Pick up your cuts and then try its adjacent food truck, Pigwich.
Treat your taste buds to KC's growing wine scene at Amigoni Urban Winery. Housed inside a
former newspaper's headquarters, the ornate tasting room offers small plates, tours and flights
of five tastings for $6.

Barbecue ice cream? Betty Rae's
made waves with the introduction
of its Burnt Ends & Sauce flavor, a
collaboration with Joe's Kansas City,
a local barbecue legend. The chewy,
salty, savory concoction combines
ice cream, caramel, barbecue sauce
and candied burnt ends.
