Happy Hour Dinner - Grand Street Cafe!
2025-06-02 17:00 - 19:00 (America/Chicago) | Grand Street Cafe – Plaza, 4740 Grand Ave., Kansas City, MO, 64112, United States
Wow. I didn’t know that Grand Street Cafe, on the Country Club Plaza, has been around for over 30 years. It’s a pretty classy joint, locally owned and operated and serving “Modern American Cuisine.” No, I don’t know what that is either but food and drinks are great, the service is spot on and it’s a really good place to socialize and dine! Perfect for PTKC’ers who crave a somewhat more “upscale” experience. Now fellas, don’t be put off by the Grilled Fillet Mignon price. There are plenty of other, more reasonable and equally delicious options available. Now if you really want that dish (I do!) just call it Chateaubriand, take a deep breath and order it. We won’t blame you.
Join us! (Oh, and stay healthy, guys!)

Coffee Talk @ Denny's
2025-06-04 10:00 - 11:30 | Denny’s in Merriam, KS, 9001 Shawnee Mission Parkway, Merriam, KS, 66202, United States
Now a couple of things about this Denny’s on Shawnee Mission Parkway. First off, the wait staff absolutely loves us! Second, they give us a private room. Pretty cool, huh? Sure, it’s not haute cuisine but that doesn’t matter. There’s plenty of reasonably priced breakfast/brunch dishes on the menu. We usually have a great crowd here and the conversation is lively. You’ll enjoy it. 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. Let’s stay healthy together. Thank you.

Dinner at Meddys in Brookside
2025-06-04 19:00 - 21:00 | Meddys, 6301 Brookside Plaza, Kansas City, MO, 64113, United States
So, gentlemen? A few of your fellow PTKC’ers asked for a later dining start time. While many of us are retired, several are still working guys and starting in June, we’re scheduling our Wednesday night dining escapades to start at 7:00 PM. My maternal grandfather used to tell me that civilized people don’t dine before 8:00 PM. Prior to meeting him for an evening repast, I would sneak a couple of PB&J sandwiches. But back to Meddys. This restaurant has been around since 2014 and has garnered a large following! It’s authentic, healthy Mediterranean fare at reasonable prices. Portion sizes are generous and there’s a wide selection of signature cocktails. There’s even vegan and gluten-free options. Nice, huh?
So, let’s meet at Meddys for a meal! Remember, it’s a 7:00 PM start time! (Stay healthy, guys!)

Lunch at Pegah's Restaurant - Shawnee
2025-06-06 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 staying current with your vaccines. Thanks, guys.

PTKC Mixer - At Missie B's & Dinner
2025-06-06 17:00 - 18:30 | Missie B’s, 805 W 39th St, Kansas City, MO, 64111, United States
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! Vinny our PTKC Vaccine Fairy knows all!
