Happy Hour Dinner - Ricco's Italian Bistro
2025-08-11 17:00 - 19:00 (America/Chicago) | Ricco’s Italian Bistro, 11801 College Boulevard, Overland Park, KS, 66210, United States
Now I kinda’ like the story of this place. In 2003, three families took over a local eatery and Ricco’s, with its artisanal menu, is the result. From appetizers to entrees, it’s Italian cuisine at its best!
Non restare lì seduto! Unisciti a noi al Ricco’s Italian Bistro! (Don’t just sit there! Join us at Ricco’s Italian Bistro!)
Oh, and remember! Keep Vinny the Vaccine Fairy happy!

Coffee Talk @ Denny's
2025-08-13 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 Jess and Jim's Steakhouse in Martin City
2025-08-13 19:00 - 21:00 | Jess and Jim’s Steakhouse, 517 East 135th Street,, Kansas City, MO, 64145, United States
Who can argue with a fine classic steak house? Hand cut, aged prime beef and everything from Filet Mignon, Ribeye, KC Strips, Top Sirloin and Porterhouse. There’s even some luminary history here. Writer Calvin Trillin, a Kansas City native, put Jess and Jim’s on the national map. Years later the restaurant honored him by creating The Playboy Strip; 25 ounces of pure beef goodness! Just say nothing to your cardiologist.
Join us and enjoy!

Contract Bridge Night
2025-08-14 19:00 - 21:00 | Jim and Sam’s home, 9708 Lee Boulevard, Leawood, KS, 66206, United States
So, before we chat about bridge, did you know that contract bridge has its origins in the 16th Century? And, about 15 million Americans age 45 and over know how to play and about 5 million of them play at least a few times a year. Kinda’ nifty, huh? Now my exposure to this game started when I was a mere lad. My folks loved the game and attempted to teach me to play. Unfortunately I was more eager to continue my clandestine assignation with GI Joe and Ken (stolen from my sister) who were carrying on a torrid affair unbeknownst to poor Barbie (also stolen from my sister). But enough about that. Back to bridge. PTKC has a monthly bridge group on the second Thursday of each month. Games are held at Jim Wright’s home and, even better, all skill levels are welcome to join in. Want to join the game? Just keep an eagle eye out for the Punchbowl invitation from Jim!
Same stuff about vaccines, guys. Be aware, please, of your respective vaccination status and let’s keep everyone healthy.

Lunch at Pegah's Restaurant - Shawnee
2025-08-15 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
2025-08-15 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!
