intro to road trip travel
Just what is there to do on this great city of the plains? If you've already experienced "real" places like New York City or Boston or Chicago not that much. But if you happen to find yourself stuck in this former boomtown for a night or two here are some suggestions for things you some exciting activities.

===BBQ===
Kansas City is known first and foremost for its tangy old style barbeque. Every region in the midwest has its own specific BBQ style and KC has been known to attract the likes of Jimmy Carter, Danny Glover, and Calvin Trillin for the spices served here. The restaurants to hit:

====Arthur Bryant's====
There are only three Arthur Bryant's Locations, and one is in the KC-MO airport. If you can get there before dark head to the original, which is located at 1727 Brooklyn Avenue. Vegetarians beware: this is thick, hearty authentic meat. Food is served on the plates I used to see at summer camp and portions are substantial. Get a beef or pork "sandwich" (a pile of meat with some white bread thrown on top) and some baked beans or fries if you're hungry, make sure to get a large drink. Notice those large urns full of spices and reddish liquid sitting on the front window sill? That's the unforgettable Arthur Bryant homemade bbq sauce in sweet or spicy.
