One of our favorites. This fun, hip restaurant started out in the City Market and grew too big for its britches so they moved. And we can say we're glad they did. On a pretty day, this one is walkable.

Ahhh....Historic Union Station. Opened in 1914, Union Station opened her doors as a working train station accommodating hundreds of thousands of passengers. Now, over a hundred years later, her walls echo with a treasure trove of Kansas City's past and living history. Union Station is the home to Science City, the Planetarium, a Movie Theatre and Live Theatre. There is most likely an international Exhibit going on at any given time. This is a definite MUST-DO for all ages.

The River Market isn't just idyllic-It's quietly, charmingly iconic. Sample cuisines from across the world and navigate through Farmer's Market stalls stocked with fresh produce in this 150- year-old riverfront neighborhood that's situated on the free-to-ride KC Streetcar route. This is definitely a must-do in KC early on a Saturday or Sunday morning. Even if you don't need to buy produce, flowers, etc. There is so much to see and do here. The culture at this event is amazing. My specific favorite spot to eat at...Habashi House. They serve the best falafel sandwich in town with a side of creamy hummus!
