Mission Taco Joint - South Plaza

Here's a perfect itinerary for how to spend the weekend in Kansas City exploring the best of what it has to offer! The city is a great spot for a weekend trip in the Midwest with unique local business to shop at, delicious food (barbecue!!), and fun sports teams to cheer for. Kansas City was the first place I lived after graduating from college, so it'll always hold a special place in my heart. While I was there, I tried a wide variety of restaurants and activities around the city, so I've got you covered on the best things to do and I'm so excited to share my favorites with you! This itinerary includes a suggested itinerary for Friday - Sunday with multiple options for each activity as well as details about my experiences visiting these spots when I lived there. It covers where to stay, eat, and enjoy the most popular local spots in KC!
