    Nice mix of craft beers, decent happy hour spot. Cheese Steak is purportedly Famous, but I like the Bengal Tiger Pizza

  • North Italia

    User 314

    Pleasant stop for a glass of classic super Tuscan & salted caramel budino or hazelnut torta. Dinner is pleasant classic Italian faire, but nothing that is extraordinary or pops from the norm. I'd stick with wine and dessert

    My KC go-to for burnt ends and fries. Get the ribs if you like them shaggy. Love the high-acid sauce. Prepare to get smoked along with your meat.

    Exceptional coffee - but - DO NOT leave this place without trying at least two slices of the daily fresh made bread (or else your trespass will not be forgiven)

    NOMA trained chef provides a delightful menu, a touch on the Nordic side. Wish portion sizes were a bit larger, but overall great wine list and diverse menu

    Neapolitan-style pizza. Elastic dough, soft middle. Good, but I worry about consistency due to large menu and volume of diners during peak hours. Open until 01:00, which is rare for Kansas City.

    KC = hidden beauty. Kauffman is a gem. I'd put it at top 5 for design and venue for the performing arts

    I love it, get the Chipolte sausage, that is the only words you will say the rest of the day. You probably will name your child Chipolte Sausage after you eat here

    Better bread in KC you won't find. "Orchard" loaf is my favorite, full of raisins, apricots, and walnuts. Open Thursdays, Fridays, & Saturdays only, until sell-out. Go early. I highly recommend.

    Same owners, recently renamed (was Oklahoma Joe's). Most consistent BBQ in KC. Get the ribs, chicken, fries and slaw. Long lines. Get here early for lunch, or late afternoon. Can call ahead for takeaway. Multiple locations. You'll want to come to this location, the original. Highly recommend.

    Small, but sleek art museum. Rotating exhibits of contemporary artists. Eclectic. Provocative. And sometimes, boring.

    For you Giants fans, this is a picture from game 7 of the World Series after the game. However, Kauffman Stadium is a great place to watch a game. Head to the right field bar for pre-game
