A Memorial Day travel feature in the New York Times dubbed Kansas City’s Westport neighborhood “a destination for craft beers, local charcuterie and indie-label clothes.”

The story, titled “In Kansas City, all things craft,” spotlights Julep’s extensive whiskey selection and “Art Decor glamour,” Oddly Correct’s expertly roasted and brewed coffee and Ça Va, a champagne bar where “sparkling wine breaks out of its white tablecloth confines.”

The Bunker, a clothing boutique, and Port Fonda, which writer Liza Weisstuch described as a “cantina with a rock ‘n’ roll attitude,” also made the cut.
