"Extra Virgin is the king of casual outings with discounted drinks and food. It's a lowkey place for daily half-priced mezze from 4-6pm (and all night Tuesday), and even better on Mondays when all bottles of wine are half-off. The regular food menu is great for sharing too, with homemade ricotta with grilled bread, “fudgy” deviled eggs, or sautéed mushrooms with chili crunch. Get some prime people-watching on the patio when they open the surrounding art galleries for the street party known as First Fridays. You’re close enough to play pinball or Skee-ball at the Up-Down KC arcade bar or watch a jazz trio at the lamplit Green Lady Lounge." - ryan bernsten
