about

A hundred years ago, if a night owl in Kansas City wanted something to eat at 3 a.m., the Metropolitan Hotel at the corner of Fifth Street and May was still serving food in its "first class restaurant ... open 24 hours." If one hungered for something more musically charged, the live piano playing at the Phoenix Jazz Club had it going on..

The amazing thing about the Phoenix Hotel isn't that it survived the changing fortunes of downtown Kansas City but that it never stopped being a gathering place. Frank Valerius quit pouring whiskey before Prohibition, but even without booze, the first floor would be home to some kind of restaurant for the next half-century. Even after the upstairs "hotel" stopped renting rooms, Morris Talman served breakfast and lunch at his Talman Grill from 1948 to 1978.
