Step Up to the Plate
Kansas City!
Kansas City is in the heart of America, both literally and figuratively. The people who made Kansas City what it is know that it is far more than flyover country. Stop by and visit our great city through the eyes—and stomachs—of some of our most famous residents from Harry Truman to Andy Reid. Kansas City is well-known for its Bar-B-Que, its fountains, its championship winning sports teams, and its own brand of music. And we all love to eat.
