This is my favorite place in all of Kansas City. If you love art you have to go. - Lizzy future Atwood
If you are coming to Kansas City might as well get to know our city! One of the best ways to do that is probably by going to First Friday's at the Crossroads Art District. There will be tons of people walking from gallery to gallery, there will be food trucks, discounts at restaurants and bars, local artisan vendors, live music, you may even come across a dance battle... and then you may join said dance battle. It's pretty awesome. These are my favorite art galleries: Leedy-Voulkos Art Center 2012 Baltimore Ave. (816) 474-1919 leedy-voulkos.com Sherry Leedy Contemporary Art 2004 Balitmore Kansas City, MO 64108 (816) 221-2626 The Bauer 115 W 18th St Kansas City, MO 64108 (816) 984-8535
If you wanna do a little shopping while still being surrounded by pretty things this is the place to go. The Country Club Plaza is architecturally inspired by Seville, Spain therefore it's just a nice place to walk around. Don't forget to stop at Kaldi's Coffee or Scooter's! - Lizzy future Atwood
Best burnt ends in the country. Get your BBQ on!
Joe's Kansas City Barbecue is widely know as the best BBQ in Kansas City. Seriously just try the Z-Man sandwich. -Lizzy future Atwood "The Z-Man named one of 50 ESSENTIAL AMERICAN SANDWICHES TO EAT BEFORE YOU DIE, by Thrillist (May 2015)"
Probably one of the coolest building in Kansas City. It sits across from the National WWI Museum and Memorial. Apart from being an active train station there are also cool seasonal exhibits, great coffee and great food. It’s seriously beautiful inside. There is also a Science center for kids. The seasonal exhibit right now is Dinosaurs Revealed.
