Looking for a quick bite downtown during the NFL Draft? Some of your favorite places may be crowded.
Downtown streets are closed to traffic and throngs of football fans, in town to see the NFL Draft, are spilling into local restaurants. Many have been preparing for months.
With the influx of VIP visitors and football franchises from around the country, some restaurateurs are cashing in on the opportunity to sell out their entire establishment, even if it sometimes limits their ability to serve the public.
Christina Corvino, owner, general manager and sommelier of the Corvino Supper Club and Tasting Room says that they held several private events earlier in the week but during Draft nights, they chose not to host large parties so they could welcome fans to a relaxing dinner.

..."In the Crossroads, Grinder’s owner Stretch says they’re ready for whatever the event brings. They’ve stocked up with plenty of extra food and alcohol.
Stretch says the crowds that flooded into downtown for the World Series and Super Bowl Parades have prepared them for what to expect.
"You know, it's an apocalypse of chaos downtown and we're going to try to feed as many people, and get as much alcohol in a safe environment,” Stretch says. “As long as everybody maintains and no one gets so crazy they got to shut it down, we're going to be able to handle the crowds."
“We want everybody to feel comfortable when they come to Kansas City to show that we have big hearts,” Stretch says. “We're a Midwestern town with big ideas and we want everybody to be safe out there.”
King G is a bar and deli in the Crossroads. Kitchen manager Zac Sachs describes it as an elevated neighborhood bar — always open late.
While other restaurants have been taken over by VIP events, King G is operating on a first come, first served basis.
“We typically look busier than we actually are, so just come on in,” Sachs says."
