“Kansas City: Sorry it took me so long. I get it now.”Chicago Tribune

Kansas City may be the Barbecue Capital of the World, but it is also has a thriving creative arts scene, with an eclectic mix of entertainment and restaurants, style and winning sports teams.

Kansas City Chefs Make Dinner and Headlines.

Barbecue is just the beginning for this culinary crossroads. Kansas City boasts several award-winning chefs including three 2016 James Beard semi-finalists. The restaurant scene embodies the city’s many cultural influences from indigenous flavor and home-style cooking to fusion foods and beyond.

Kansas City Sport Teams are on a Winning Streak.

From watching World Series baseball to tailgating at Arrowhead Stadium before a Kansas City Chiefs game, Kansas City’s passion for sports is sure to leave you cheering.

Kansas City Museums, Entertainment Venues and Revelry are World-class.

Kansas City has three acclaimed art museums, more than 65 performing arts groups, the Crossroads Arts District and is home to the extraordinary Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts. The Paris of the Plains serves up handcrafted cocktails, craft beer and music all over the city.
