The Zombie Prom and Birthday Party is the Brick's version of a birthday celebration.

Admission is $7 for adults.
Cafe Sebastienne has a seasonal winter menu that will make you forget about the cold for a little while.

Dinner options include the Moroccan-spiced lamb bolognese ($20) and pan-roasted airline pheasant breast ($24). Call 816-561-7740 to make a reservation.
