Picture yourself there…
Romantics treasure the scale and polish of this Beaux Arts beauty. Cynics love its gritty past, and its custom-fitted connection to the Prohibition-era ’30s thanks to gangster, Pretty Boy Floyd. Whatever version you want, the second-largest working train station in the country has something for everyone. Pose on the grass patch below neighboring Liberty Memorial and proceed inside. Single file, of course.

The result is a more diverse experience than simply the multitiered riverboat casino’s gambling floors. A wide selection of restaurants surrounds the newly built Voodoo Lounge, which attracts up-and-coming musical and performance acts, as well as also-ran bands.

Already the linchpin of Kansas City’s arts and culture scene, the renowned Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art got a shot in the arm with the addition of the Bloch Building in 2007. The add-on to the already respected art museum added a vast collection of paintings, sculptures and photography exhibits, which reviewers from the New York Times and The New Yorker seemed surprised to find in Kansas City. In the main building is an impressive array of modern and classic art housed in an opulent stone structure atop a vast, green park dotted by huge shuttlecock sculptures one has to see to believe.
