DOWNTOWN
The heart of KC's $9 billion renaissance and
one of "America's Best Downtowns" (Forbes)
Feel Downtown's pulse inside the Power & Light District,
an eight-block neighborhood chock-full of more than 50 bars,
restaurants and shops. New this year is County Line Ice House,
home to live music and legendary KC barbecue.

Uncover the "Titanic of the
Missouri River" at the Arabia
Steamboat Museum, a tribute
to the 1856 shipwreck. The
quirky museum houses the
largest collection of pre-Civil
War artifacts in the world, from
perfume to pickles.
Food with soul-that's Josh
and Abbey-Jo Eans' approach
to Asian comfort food at
Columbus Park Ramen. The
nuanced recipes at the tiny,
eat-it-and-beat-it garage
feature ingredients like Amish
chicken and pickled shitake
mushrooms.

Music's biggest names know Sprint Center, the fourth-busiest
arena in the country. Test your skills at The College Basketball
Experience, a hands-on hoops haven connected to the arena
by a shared lobby.

ZACH BAUMAN

Hop aboard the new KC Streetcar, now millions of passengers
strong. Easy to use and free to ride, the two-mile starter line runs
mostly along Main Street, connecting restaurants, galleries and
residences along the way.

RIVER MARKET

CROSSROADS ARTS DISTRICT
The neighborhood that arts built-trendy, urban
and surprisingly bohemian
History is served at The Rieger, a former Prohibition-era hotel
turned bistro and cocktail house. Chef Howard Hanna has a passion
for the pig-so any pork dish is sure to be right on the money.
Relive your childhood at Up-Down, a huge arcade bar serving
up 80s/90s nostalgia and regional craft beer. Go wild with 25-cent
plays on more than 50 arcade games from yesteryear, from Pac-Man
to Punch-Out.
Known for its diverse lineup and awesome outdoor location,
Crossroads KC at Grinders has become one of the city's most
popular live music destinations. After the show, grab a slice of their
popular pizza-the Bengal Tiger is a personal fave of Guy Fieri.
