If anyone out there is traveling to Kansas City, I can give information.

I'm Russian tourist who only knows about Kansas because of Wizard of Oz. I come there on my road trip from NY to CA. What do I do there? Can spend as much time as I want, if it worth it.

Kansas City is probably best known for our barbeque, and there's a wide variety of places to try out- I'm partial to Woodyard BBQ on Merriam ln. Year-round, we have a lot of car shows, though it will unfortunately be some time until the next one- if you should be coming through while one is happening, they're worth a look, as our cars are featured in magazines nationwide. The WWI museum is quite impressive as well, and it's the only one of its kind in the country. The Nelson-Atkins museum is another great one, and the area around there is known for having lots of street performers, especially after dark (and note, stick with the crowd if you do this, the surrounding area is dangerous). Besides all this, there's a myriad of music bars around the city, from punk to jazz to country. If you're wanting to stay someplace safe, try hotels around Liberty, Tiffany Springs, or Mission; Wyndotte (downtown KCK) is much cheaper, but you'd be taking a risk. I hope you enjoy it here

Just to put it out there, avoid Independence Ave. and Swope pkwy if you can (Swope's main road is okay, avoid the side-streets like the plague), don't go around State Ave. or Westport after dark, and STAY AWAY from Quindero, Parallel, and most of Southwest blvd if you can. The chances of being robbed or shot in a drive-by are high in these areas, and we have a serious homicide problem here. It's mostly common sense where to avoid, but some places get really bad quick if you go the wrong direction.

You're missing out on the best Mexican food in the city

You from Overland Park or something?

I found the hallmark card museum and the WWI museum really fascinating. (But that's just me, many people might not). Also Union station is fun to check out,
