I'm visiting KC in two weeks! Any suggestions?
Sadly you're going to miss KC Game Fair, which is coming up this weekend.
Got any days free? Maybe we can grab a beer or BBQ.
Naturally, being a resident, I don't pay attention to the sightseeing stuff. I hear the Steamboat Arabia museum is interesting, but I've never been. Same with Liberty Memorial, which I believe is the only national WWI memorial (in America anyway). Depends on your tastes. Nelson-Atkins museum is decent, but I seem to recall you're in NYC, so you have your pick of art museums. I suppose if you are an art aficionado, then Nelson-Atkins would be good for seeing what else is out there. It also has giant shuttlecocks. That's…a big deal for some people.
If you like Christmas stuff, the Plaza will be lit up as of Thanksgiving. It's not my bag, but a lot of people really like it. And I have to admit that there are a shit-ton of lights. It's a place to walk around and listen to buskers. There's carriage/wagon rides for people who like to ride in carriages/wagons.
I could tell you my favorite Thai place, Indian place, and German place, but you could get those foods elsewhere. I presume BBQ is the food to get while you're visiting. Jack Stack is indeed pretty decent. I like Smokehouse. Out in Lee's Summit is Hickory Pit.
Many locals swear by Oklahoma Joe's (I think it's called Joe's now). It's pretty good, though I probably wouldn't swear by it. Funnily enough, I don't really have a favorite BBQ joint. I rate them all by good or fair. I generally don't find bad BBQ around here. If such a place exists, it wouldn't last long.
