Crafty gift shop, art gallery, coffee shop... all in one. It is decorated beautifully as well. So warm and welcoming - both the store and the people. We were greeted with smiles and happy folks. Even with the line all the way out the door due to the race influx, they were efficient and wonderful. Food and my spiced chai were delicious. If I lived here, this would absolutely be my go to study/work spot. Oh and...teacher and student discounts!

Palermo's is a restaurant clearly in the early stages of development. Unfortunately when we went,…read morethey did not have any alcoholic beverages, which was strange since wine and Italian go hand-in-hand, no explanation given. Food-wise, it was unmemorable. Tour de Italy- Good presentation, the sauce was lacking in taste and texture, but the noodles that accompanied it were very good. Chicken was easily the best part and the lasagna was okay. If you enjoy meaty sweet lasagna, you will enjoy it. Chicken & Broccoli- It was yummy. Honestly do not regret going to Palermo's. It was a cool find. I believe there were around 2 other tables sat while we were there, with 2 cooks and 2 servers. Also I burnt my tongue, take that as you will. The food was hot.

If not for seeing the governor tweet about this place, I might not have known. What a shame that would've been. Snugged up against the banks of the Neosho, Riverbank Brewing is bringing solid craft beer and a great gathering destination to small town Kansas. A reclaimed building, replete with broken walls outside, houses a small brewing facility and spacious tasting room. Not a beer drinker? No worries, because Riverbank has you covered for craft cocktails, plenty of wine, and non-alcoholic choices. But if you *are* here for the beer, just know that Riverbank is dabbling in the lab and getting it done RIGHT. I sampled a kölsch called 'Thrill Hills' and picked up an IPA for the Mrs. called 'Kenny Gregory's Vertical'. If ya ain't familiar with Kenny Gregory, look him up. The kid had hops, and so does this beer. I also had a pint of the blonde ale 'Yeah Girl', a wheat-y ale with a strawberry kicker, not too fruity and sensational on the back end. The brewmasters of Riverbank clearly know their way around malt, yeast, & hops and their execution in the tasting room has equal game. There are food options, but it's not a full kitchen. Want to bring your doggo? Riverbank Brewing is dog-friendly inside and out! We loved the opportunity to enjoy a beer on a great day in a great place without having to worry about where to put our dog. Patio seating gives shade for warm weather and heat lamps when it's chilly. It's small town Kansas bringing a big city amenity with all the comfort that Midwestern hospitality is known for!
