Flies.

I've now officially been a resident of the KC area for 6 months, today.

I still don't know where to get some decent queso.

I just want to thank everyone who made the first 6 months here possible, fun, and incredibly scary. 6 more months and years more to come hopefully.

However, I've failed to explore the majority of anything here. Anyone got any ideas on the things I should do to fill the next 6 months in KC ? Of course we've got the obvious, like going to Nelson-Atkins, and the not so obvious, like finding the perfect bacon and egg breakfast. What else is there? What am I really missing?

I need something to make me really fall in love with where I am, not another 30 screen or American Eagle. I might accept another Chipotle though.

Are you serious? Jose Pepper's has pretty good queso for a chain. I'd snorkel in it.

I went there once with Adam/Alex before I moved here. I don't remember the queso but my enchilada sucked.

That's why you need to come down and have El Charro with me and Chris. Or if you want queso, El Zarape.

El Zarape > El Charro

Mi Cocina on the Plaza is a good one too. They make everything from scratch.

I've been in the entry way to Mi Cocina, then everyone ran up to the bar to buy some guy a drink and try to get their name on the list for that night and I had to sit by the revolving door all sad and without queso.

Robert.... El Charro has a much better beef steak ranchero. Otherwise, I do like El Zarape's queso much better.

I was always too afraid to eat at the mexican places in Tahlequah. You know, actually, Goldie's and Bandito's are the only "restaurants" in town I've been to...unless Sam and Ella's counts.

Sample the Corner Cafe in Westport for your bacon/egg breakfast. Shop at the City Market for plants/fruits/veggies early on a Saturday morning. Eat at Minsky's on Main for pizza and shop at the Plaza after dinner. Bike the vast trail system, visit the Kemper, shop at Temple Slug, see a performance at the Midland at least once, find the 2 Frank Lloyd Wright houses in KC, shop Brookside, see a theater performance at UMKC, try Ponak's on SW blvd for that queso, I seem to recall it's quite tasty.

Corner Cafe and Minksy's I've done with you and Alex when Bryan came up for 4th of July. I think I've been to the city market. I believe that's where I fell in love with a bunch of young italian butchers. I recall that I absolutely loved Minksy's. Everything else I'm gonna have to google.

Queso? - Sol Azteca, Southwest Blvd.
Perfect Eggs? - Mama's, 39th and Bell.
