The city's playground for grownups. Featuring an AMC 6 with cinema suites, a huge variety of restaurants, live music, bars and an outdoor pavilion (where soccer fans gather to watch World Cup games).
From the time a server yells, "HI MAY I HELP YOU?!" to the second you finish your sammich, Gates is an experience. An essential pit stop on a KC barbecue tour.
The place in the city to see sporting events (including the Big 12 basketball tournament) and big concerts. Right down the street from Power & Light, so you can grab food before or after.
Ground zero for holiday-season shopping. Full of specialty shops and restaurants, an ice-skating rink, rotating exhibits and the delightful Coterie children's theater.
They serve a pizza here with a mountain of chili and tater tots in the middle of it. I'll leave you to draw your own conclusions.
Jazz, jazz and more jazz. Live music, food and museums. Think outside New Orleans.
A must-visit museum for any baseball enthusiasts. Doubles as a sports museum and a social history museum. You can visit the jazz museum at the same time.
Arguably the best barbecue in the country, loved by presidents and plebs alike. I recommend the burnt ends with fries, served wrapped in butcher paper. Like pickles? Good, you'll get a bunch of them.
Come see Nikita, the new polar bear. Located in Swope Park, the zoo features a number of large exhibits and an IMAX theater. A lot has been invested in it and the city gets excited about new animals.
Home of the Kansas City Chiefs and their fans. These are the loudest (seriously, I think this was proved), craziest, loyalest and at the same time most fatalist fans in football. Go for the food, too.
Home of the Kansas City Royals. Great atmosphere (and fireworks) even when the team's in the AL Central's basement.
