The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art

Incredible collection, free admission. One of our absolute favorite spots in KC! Enjoy the art inside or the grounds outside. Can't go wrong.

WWI Museum & Liberty Memorial

If you're into history, this museum can't be missed. Plus, the overlook from the memorial above offers one of the best views in the city.

Live Jazz

Kansas City is known as one of the birthplaces of Jazz, and there are tons of options for catching some live music on any given night. The Green Lady Lounge offers two floors of music and is a local favorite.

Kansas City is known for its barbecue, and we have tons of options to choose from. Here are some of the hits:

Joe’s Kansas City Bar-B-Que

Famous Z-Man sandwich. Most people's favorite.

Q39

Modern BBQ with great brisket and great sides. Always super delicious but a little upscale.

Slap's BBQ

Total hole-in-the wall, absolutely delicious. In KCK.

Arthur Bryant’s

A KC classic. I remember Obama went there one time.

Jack Stack BBQ

Upscale BBQ. Try the cheesy corn and crown prime beef ribs.

Char Bar

Laid-back spot with a big outdoor patio and solid burnt ends.

Gates Bar-B-Q

Bold flavors and spicy sauce. Don’t miss the greeting when you walk in.

Penrose | 1927 McGee St

A sweet little walk-up café, Avery's favorite near her office.

Thou Mayest River Quay | 412 Delaware St

Ben's favorite in town, a small spot up in the River Market neighborhood downtown. Reminds me of Puritan in Fayetteville a tiny bit.

Messenger Coffee | 1624 Grand Blvd

Great coffee, great bakery, and three stories of spaces with an outdoor patio.

Café Corazón | 110 Southwest Blvd

A Mexican-inspired coffee shop with great empanadas and tamales.
