Things To Do
Joe's KC BBQ
“It’s the best barbecue in Kansas City, which makes it the best barbecue in the world.” - Anthony Bourdain Our favorites are the Z-Man and the Rocket Pig sandwiches. Be sure to try the burnt ends too!
Country Club Plaza
Spanish-style architecture, fountains, and plenty of shops and restaurants. Perfect for an afternoon stroll.
The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art
Home to world-class galleries and the iconic shuttlecock sculptures on the lawn. Since our wedding is here, you’ll get to experience the space, but if you’d like extra time to explore the collections, it’s worth planning a visit during your stay!
Boulevard Brewing Company
Kansas City’s hometown brewery. Take a tour, grab a flight in the beer hall, or just hang out on the patio with a Tank 7.
Craft Breweries in the Crossroads
From Casual Animal to Torn Label, the Crossroads district has no shortage of great local breweries and distilleries. Perfect for an afternoon crawl!
XR
In the lobby of the Crossroads Hotel, you’ll find a trendy spot to grab a drink in the heart of the Crossroads Arts District. Great cocktails, pizza, and people watching.
Green Lady Lounge
In a city known for jazz, this is a KC staple for live jazz. Dark, cozy, and immaculate vibes.
National WWI Museum and Memorial
A moving and incredibly designed museum with sweeping views of the city from Liberty Memorial Tower.
Union Station Kansas City
A restored 1914 train station with stunning Beaux-Arts architecture. Check out the model trains, exhibits, or just admire the grand hall.
City Market
One of the largest farmers markets in the Midwest. On weekends you’ll find fresh produce, food stalls, and unique local vendors.
Town Topic Hamburgers Broadway
A Kansas City classic since 1937. Tiny diner, griddle-smashed burgers, and milkshakes served 24/7. It’s as no-frills and authentic as it gets.
Ponak's Mexican Kitchen & Bar
A local favorite for hearty Tex-Mex. Don’t skip the margaritas, they’re some of the best (and strongest) in the city.
