Kansas City Restaurants and Things To Do while at the ANG Seminar

Lynn from Fireside Stitchery in PA also has a home in Kansas City and has recommended several spots. Her daughter’s wedding beats Seminar, or else she’d be showing off KC personally. Best wishes to her daughter and new son for a healthy and happy life together!

For BBQ, Jack Stack for BBQ and baked beans. Go as a group and get platters to share. KC Joes for BBQ (2nd choice).

For steak, Anton’s on Main Street. Or 801 Chop House had a decent steak. At Anton’s,  you can pick your steak out of their butcher case … grass fed or grain fed … dry aged or not.  They are really great steaks.

Farina’s is the best place to eat but rather expensive.

For seafood, the Bristol is almost identical to Devon on Rittenhouse Square in Philly… if you are looking for good seafood.

For pizza, Spin has a couple sites (2450 Grand Blvd is 1.4 miles/7 min drive/33 min walk from the hotel) and they are good.  Waldo’s pizza is our favorite but that may be too far out for you.

Boulvard is the local brewery.  Tom’s Town is a local distillery and they have an underground tasting experience where you would hear all about prohibition in KC. But you will taste straight liquor. I couldn’t find a picture of the underground.

Good places to go:

The World War I Museum

The Power and Light District

River Market Antiques
