    Go to Arthur Bryant's for some awesome BBQ. The best one is the original on Brooklyn Ave., in downtown, kind of in a rough part of town. Looks like a hole in the wall. But the BBQ is to die for. Don't take the sqweamish, it is a grease house, often with bare-handed cooks piling up the meat. But oh man, it's good. Be sure to buy a bottle of sauce to take with you. You'll miss it if you don't. I like "Original".

    Don't get pulled over by the police, they will fingerprint you.

    I'm working in North KC (hood, from what I understand), and staying at a hotel near Worlds of Fun (amusement park) off of 435. I got here Monday but have been pretty busy with work.

    doh! You couldn't be further away from me.

    There is a nice new shopping/restaurant/theater area up North called Zona Rosa.

    You could visit the Boulevard Brewery, they are famous throughout the Midwest for their fine beers. http://www.blvdbeer.com/ I think they have Saturday tours. They're located in close to the river off of I35 in central KC about 9 miles due southwest from World's of Fun.

    Not too far away from Boulevard Brewery if you'd just go south on Southwest Trafficway or Broadway, The Plaza is a nice shopping/restaurant/bar district you could visit too.

    I435 and Worlds of Funk. Oh boy :) You'll enjoy that. Way to get a taste for KC. HA.

    Always enjoy the Plaza as mentioned above. Some fine dining, if you wish.
