Kansas City is home to several outstanding museums, and this getaway will let you explore them while enjoying creative and innovative cuisine.
DAY ONE:
After checking into your cozy B&B, relax at the inn with wine and hors d’oeuvres before heading to the city’s sleek contemporary art museum for a saunter through its provocative exhibits. You’ll enjoy a satisfying and artistic dinner surrounded by Fredrick James Brown originals. Don’t miss the signature chocolate budino dessert; it’s a dense slice of heaven!
DAY TWO:
In the morning you’ll start your day with a lovely breakfast, prepared by the adept innkeepers. Experience the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art spectacular new wing, named Time Magazine’s Architectural Wonder of 2007. Spend the afternoon strolling the Country Club Plaza, grabbing a bite to eat at one of many local eateries in the shopping district.
Don’t spoil your appetite; the last evening’s dining adventure will be memorable. Created by Colby Garelts (named a Food & Wine Top New Chef in 2005 and nominated for a James Beard Award three times) and his wife, Megan, the restaurant’s pastry chef, bluestem’s cuisine is cutting-edge. The tasting menu, presentation, and complexity of flavors are a treat for all the senses.
DAY THREE:
Interested in a bit more culture? Before leaving town on the last morning, delight in the 18th and Vine historic district, the venue of two iconic gems, the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum and the American Jazz Museum.
