A whole lot of culture is served up with Midwestern charm — and famous barbecue.
Kansas City, Missouri, is filled with Spanish-inspired architecture, stunning public gardens and more than 200 fountains (which is how it got its nickname as the “City of Fountains”). A burgeoning arts district showcases the work of local artists and artisans. And there are art museums, yes, but also innovative and interactive museums devoted to our monetary system, World War I and trains, to name just a few of them. Add lively spots for KC’s famous barbecue — slow-smoked with a dry rub and a tomato-based sauce — and craft beer and you’ve got a great weekend on tap.
