Kansas City, Here I Come!

A September 2004 trip to Kansas City by CLEdwards

I traveled to the metropolitan KC area to visit a friend - we had good shopping, great food, and a fun-filled time at the KC RenFest (Renaissance Festival).

Restaurant

I had a mixed dining experience. Steak is a Kansas City tradition, and this is the place that defines KC Steak. The Stuffed Mushrooms (with crab, shrimp and cream cheese) were to die for. The Pierpont House Salad (greens with Diakon radish, taro root, fried crispy onions and shallot vinaigrette) was excellent. I was very disappointed by the KC strip steak - I've had better steak at Outback. It had no flavor.

Attraction | "RenFest (Renaissance Festival)"

www.KCRenFest.com RenFest is a great time for adults and the entire family. There are a series of festivals like this throughout the country, and they are only open for 2 months per year, so check the website for the schedule. You'll see over half the people walking around in period costumes (those who work there and those just attending). Everything from knights, wenches, fairies, kings and queens. You'll get to see live shows (comedy, jousting), eat some food (chocolate-dipped cheesecake is the best), and shop for period crafts, jewelery, or, maybe, your very own sword.
