Lunch at Pegah's Restaurant - Shawnee
2026-03-20 12:00 - 13:30, 2026-03-27 12:00 - 13:30, 2026-04-03 12:00 - 13:30, 2026-04-10 12:00 - 13:30, 2026-04-17 12:00 - 13:30 | Pegah’s on Johnson Drive, 11005 Johnson Dr, Shawnee, KS, 66203, United States
Ah, the appeal of Pegah’s in Shawnee. Sure, the food is pretty darn good and plentiful. Yeah, the coffee is hot and reasonably potent (I’m lookin’ at you, Denny’s!) and we get a semi-private (well, sort of) back room. But the real charm of the place is when our favorite waitress snarls at us, “Hey old men – are you ready to order?!” You cannot put a price on that.
Clearly we really like this eatery as evidenced by the fact we all tend to hang around way past 1:30. We have a large crowd of PTKC’ers every Friday so it’s worth the jaunt. Parking can be a little tight but you’ll find a space – not to worry. So, join us!
Gentlemen, as a reminder, we encourage you to protect yourself and fellow Prime Timers by getting the latest flu and Covid vaccines. Thanks, guys.

30 years ago, Missie B’s opened as a gay owned and operated piano/karaoke bar. Since that humble beginning it’s become a leading gay KC hangout with special entertainment and drag shows. It’s not just a place to grab a drink, it’s an experience! So, join your fellow KCPT’ers to celebrate the end of the week and the start of the weekend. Maybe grab a few pals and head out for dinner at some point. We keep it loose and easy (hey, no jokes!) and we’ll see ‘ya there!
Gentlemen, as a reminder, stay healthy, please! Vinnie our PTKC Vaccine Fairy knows all!

2026-03-23 17:00 - 19:00 | Westport Flea Market Bar & Grill, 817 Westport Road, Kansas City, MO, 64111, United States
Welcome to The Flea, guys. This 30 year-old funky, quirky dining institution is a must eat at kinda’ place in KC! Food is prepared to order and drinks are plentiful and well executed. Now just a couple of things to keep in mind about this joint. First, for those wanting a Happy Hour nosh, you must order food at the bar. There’s a big sign so you won’t get lost. Now the servers are always loquacious and fun so order your drinks from these fine folks. And, lastly, The Flea only takes cash. So, keep that in mind. Of course, should you forget feel free to see our Treasurer, Doug Pittack, if he’s there. He always carries a wad of dough in that enormous Lincoln he drives. 😛
Stay healthy (an arm jab or two is a good thing) and spend tonight with us!

HELL NO, WE WON’T GO!” So, be sure to join us at 105th and Metcalf with your fellow PTKC rebels! The food is fine, prices are reasonable, the coffee is hot and there’s a bunch of guys talkin’ away like crazy! Plus I finally subscribed to AARP so I get a discount!

Now for the inner kids in all of us, let’s revel in our childhoods a bit. A superb place to do that in Kansas City is The National Museum of Toys and Miniatures! From dollhouses and games to green army men, Barbie dolls, and video game consoles, the Museum’s toy collection explores social and cultural history through the lens of toys from about 1690 to the present day. Plus we can further indulge in ogling the fine-scale miniatures handmade by artists and often inspired by an existing full-scale objects. Even better we’re getting a museum tour guide and PTKC is pickin’ up the tab for the tour and admission. Oh, and there’s plenty of free parking, too. Pretty great stuff, right?!

Hump Day Dinner @ Red Lobster in OP
2026-04-01 19:00 - 21:00 | Red Lobster, 9475 Metcalf Avenue, Overland Park, KS, 66212, United States
So, when I was a kid my maternal grandfather used to take us to some really fancy-schmancy restaurants in NY. I adore lobster and I vividly remember a couple of tuxedoed waiters wheeling an enormous fish tank to our table where we could hand pick our lobsters. Cruel, yeah, maybe. But toss in some melted butter when that crustacean arrived on my plate and I was in heaven. Now just to be clear, Red Lobster is NOT that kind of eatery but who cares!? There are plenty of choices, prices are reasonable and even better, the company is stellar!
Don’t stay home tonight and join us!

Happy Hour Dinner @ Vaqueros Mexican Grille
2026-04-06 17:00 - 19:00 | Vaqueros Mexican Grille, 5708 North Oak Trafficway, Gladstone, MO, 64118, United States
Dios mio! Vaqueros has a bazillion variations of that much fabled drink; The Margarita. Okay, okay. A slight exageración. There are seven. But still, that’s pretty darn great! Combine those dreamy drinks with a slew of tasty Mexican dishes and what do you get? One Fantastic Fiesta with your PTKC amigos!

2026-04-13 17:00 - 19:00 | Carrabba’s Italian Grill, 10586 Metcalf Lane, Overland Park, KS, 66212, United States
Wow. Carrabba’s Italian Grill has this great spring menu, aptly titled; Spring Awakening – Flavors in Bloom. Okay, so maybe some recent KU marketing major graduate went a bit crazy, but still……it’s a fine menu! Garlic Lemon Herb Linguine, Tuscan-Grilled Lamb Chops (my favorite!), Honey Goat Cheese Sacchetti and other tasty treats. Plus, the accompanying libations are equally appealing!

2026-04-15 19:00 - 21:00 | Tupelo Honey, 16720 City Center Drive, Lenexa, KS, 66219, United States
Tonight I began to wonder about southern food. I mean what the heck is it anyway? So, I queried the stalwart round ball on my desk, aka Alexa, for details. Wow! Southern food is a culinary tradition from the American South that combines influences from African, Native American, European, and Caribbean cuisines, focusing on comfort foods like fried chicken, grits, and barbecue. It is known for its rich flavors and hearty dishes that reflect the region’s history and culture. In short, this is really, really good stuff! And, that takes us to tonight’s venue; Tupelo Honey in Lenexa. What a menu and far too many options to list. Just be warned that you won’t leave hungry. But you will leave fully sated because you spent a fantastic evening with your PTKC family at a fine, fun place to dine. What’s better than that?!
So, join us, fellas!
