Brookside Blvd, Brookside

Brookside Blvd is an extension of Main Street from the Spanish-style Country Club Plaza to the center of the Brookside neighborhood, originally built as a small suburban shopping area.

The road runs South through a well-maintained park with a running path and then opens up to the shopping area near 63rd Street. Among the shops are a drug store, high-end grocer and a number of local restaurants. One of the highlights is The Roastery Café, a coffee shop owned and run by a Kansas City coffee roaster.

During the day the shopping area is bustling, and there are a few places open late enough to enjoy a beverage with some friends, but nights are much more quiet here than you find in others areas in town.
