Royals, Chiefs, art, barbecue, fountains, 3125 WYANDOTTE! That’s right – we’re talkin’ ‘bout Kansas City, baby. If you’re a  KC newbie, just visiting, or you if were born and raised (or maybe just conceived) here, you might know about the oodles of KC restaurants that are almost as savory, sweet, and as spicy as you are.

But… chances are you may not know about ALL the delicious eats and fun things in KC. We believe it’s our job to fix that… because food is almost as important to us as singing naked in the shower with a Zum Bar microphone.  So we’re making this super easy – we’ve planned out an entire day in Kansas City for you!

8:00 AM – Wake up. Realize you need your morning pick-me-up, so skip on over to Mildred’s Coffeehouse and get a Cappuccino and Quickie of the Day (Did we say Quickie? We meant Quiche).

10:00 AM – Next, you’ve gotta hit up Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art. It’s a KC staple! You might find your breakfast settles even better while looking at beautiful artwork. Although some exhibitions are ticketed, Museum admission is FREE! Check before you schedule your trip because Nelson-Atkins is open certain days of the week.

12:30 PM – People are looking at you funny because your stomach is making noises louder than an October Sunday at Arrowhead Stadium. It’s time to make your mid-day food baby at Ponak’s Mexican Kitchen.
