GUIDE
DOWNTOWN KANSAS CITY, MO
31
DESTINATIONS BROOKSIDE One of the most charming and sought-after neighborhoods to live in, is also one of the best places to spend an afternoon if you’re a visitor. The neighborhood, planned and built in 1920, is home to more than 70 shops and restaurants, all unique and keeping with the original neighborhood charm and architecture. Just 10 blocks south of the Plaza, you can take a stroll through the quieter streets of Kansas City’s “Best Kept Secret.” Located in the vicinity of 63rd and Wornall Rd.
CROSSROADS ARTS DISTRICT Downtown’s cultural heart is home to an ever-changing art scene, unique restaurants and shops. The first Friday of every month, Kansas Citians pour into the streets downtown to visit more than 30 art galleries, most of which are open from 6 to 9 p.m. Art lovers share insights about the pieces, glass of wine in hand, then hop on the trolley to other galleries around the area. A selection of fine restaurants awaits visitors, including Zin and The Freight House restaurants, tucked away at 22nd & Wyandotte next to the railroad tracks. The restored former railroad facility serves as the anchor for Lidia’s, offering northern Italian food, Jack Stack BBQ and City Tavern, which serves seafood, steaks and chops. Located south of the loop and north of Crown Center.

Truman’s 14-room Victorian home reveals furnishings, personal possessions and a private library that includes a phonograph record collection. The National Frontier Trails are what made the name “Queen of the Trails” for Independence. Three separate routes that the pioneers took to go west began near Independence, and they do an excellent job of capturing the wonder and excitement of that era.
