The Nelson Atkins is an essential part of any Kansas City stay. The larger than life birdies on display are hard to miss! Also, admission is entirely free! Want to catch a glimpse of our wedding vibe? With perfect timing, The Nelson Atkins currently has an Art Deco exhibit titled American Art Deco: Designing for the People, 1918-1939. Be sure to check it out!
This museum is amazing. The exhibits are interesting, engaging, and interactive. A must see!
An iconic piece of Kansas City history is live Jazz Music. Green Lady Lounge is a jazz club in an intimate setting with fantastic cocktails.
Once home to the second largest stockyard in the country, the West Bottoms district is filled with large historical factory buildings. This area had largely been abandoned until recent years when local antique store owners saw the potential for huge buildings filled with vintage wares and curios. We love it here!
Kansas City is known for its refusal to follow prohibition in the 20s and 30s. This town does cocktails right! Step back in time at this speakeasy cocktail bar below the historical Hotel Philips downtown. Feeling peckish? Tavernonna, the hotel restaurant, has amazing Italian food. Make a night of it!
Open since 1937, Town Topic is your quintessential affordable mouthwatering burger joint. It’s tiny, but mighty!
Located in a historical freight house building, this is the sister restaurant to Grünauer in Vienna. We celebrated our engagement here with Duff and Linda.
