The best KCMO has to offer

Good morning y'all

I'm Lena, a Southern based kinky and au naturale companion who gets bitten by the travel bug every couple of months or so. My mind is set on making my first ever visit to Kansas City, Missouri before Spring. Where should I go to get the best first impression of Kansas City? Both in terms of an ideal and convenient general vicinity to stay in. And also, what attractions should I go see while in town? When traveling, I can be such a quintessential nerdy tourist. I'm a history and culture buff and love going about town capturing memories with my dinky point and shoot camera. Oh, and I've heard y'all have set the bar high when it comes to legit BBQ!
Lena - Hope your trip to Kansas City is enjoyable, both from a "work" perspective and as a nerdy tourist!

As for BBQ, there are a few spots that should be on your list:

Arthur Bryant's and Gates (these are the classics, have been around pretty much since BBQ was invented)
Jack Stack
Q39
Char Bar

The list goes on, but those are the best ones that are near the areas I suggested. Enjoy your visit!

Yes it is and it is yummmy....i ate at memphis one alot
Gus's chicken rocks. For more authentic KC chicken, go for Go Chicken Go.

For the best burger, Westport Flea Market.
