I'm going to Kansas City tomorrow to visit my wife. What restaurants should we go to? Best steakhouse? Best BBQ? Also, besides watching fireworks on the river for the 4th, what are the best attractions sans a Royals game.
Thanks guys!

I'll be on a trip to KC last weekend in July so I'd also like to hear. Will definitely be going to a Royals game.
Hope your trip goes well, bagman.

My personal favorite is Gates BBQ, but there are plenty of great BBQ places. The Plaza is nice. Westport is cool for a younger crowd. Beautiful fountains everywhere. Crown Center is better in the winter with ice skating/lights. I like the Negro Baseball Museum. Boulevard Brewery is top notch. Good jazz places around too.

What's your favorite jazz bar? I know my wife wants to check one out.

bit touristy...but i love the majestic. Most taxi drivers know a place or two a bit off the radar.
Edit: forgot Power and Light.

As a familiar tourist of KC, my favorites.
The Plaza - romantic style "mini town" with shopping and fine dinning.
Boulevard Brewery, because, beer.
Westport, because I'm 24.
P&L, again because I'm 24.

Gates BBQ, check out the Power & Light District, and do yourself a favor and go to a Royals game at the K

I have been to 4 royals games in KC. All of them losses.
Power and light is fun, Westport for a bit more relaxed atmosphere.

Gate's BBQ has a beef and a half that's my favorite. A lot of people like Arthur bryants....their sauce is not the boss. Mi Ranchito's has good Mexican food, but it's white people style not authentic.....cream cheese chicken enchiladas are the bomb. Nelson-Atkins museum is very impressive and free. WWI memorial and the Union Station are both great and in close proximity to one another. Midtown has some cool shops to peruse. Check out Hammersmith Press for some cool prints that you can purchase. I think Boulevard Brewery still has tours, but there used to be a waiting list. Cool experience with free beer at the end. KC is great. Have a ball.

If you want as informal a dining BBQ experience as possible, I'd suggest OK Joe's (although they just call it Joe's KC BBQ now). If you want a more upscale BBQ meal I'd do Jack Stack.
My favorite meal in town though, is the burnt ends and fries at the Brooklyn Avenue location of Arthur Bryants. Just go during the daytime.
Power and Light is a great place to go to have a drink and hang out, especially if there is a big sporting event taking place.

We may engage in fisticuffs over this.

I hear people in KC are raving about a new BBQ place called Q39. I've never tried it, but I will next time I'm in town.
I have always previously recommended LC's BBQ. - Damn Good.

LC's, Joe's and q39 are the top of the BBQ game. Arthur Bryant's and Gates are classic historical institutions, but they aren't at the top of their game anymore. Jack Stack is a very nice dining experience and has good Q.

Go to Q39 for BBQ. It's new on the KC BBQ scene but it's good stuff. Go to Fiorella's Jack Stack for a little more upscale BBQ dining.
As far as attractions go, there's really no way to be bored in KC if you use your resources. Check out the city's website...it has a list of attractions.
Crown Center Plaza shopping district, Country Club Plaza, national college basketball hall of fame at Sprint Center, Royals/Sporting KC, Nelson Atkins art museum, negro leagues baseball museum, power and light district, bars in Westport, KC Zoo, Worlds of Fun, Boulevard Brewery, etc.
