Here in Kansas City, we like to know the worth of things. Kansas Citians have always known just where we rank in the Midwest (Hint: It’s high!). That also means that others will soon notice our amazing qualities as well! So, how did we become the coolest city in the Midwest? Well, because we’re:
- Packed with amazing restaurants of all kinds.

- Filled with wonderful people.
