Fantastic!,

This review is from: eat.shop kansas city: The Indispensable Guide to Inspired, Locally Owned Eating and Shopping Establishments (eat.shop guides) (Paperback)
The thing about going someplace new is finding the most interesting places to hit in a limited amount of time. Even as a Kansas City native, this book completely nails the best places in KC. There were a half-dozen places I didn't know about in the city I live in. All of the eat shop guides are terrific, I get one on every trip to cities in their collection. Essential for finding the quirky and best restaurants!

This review is from: eat.shop kansas city: The Indispensable Guide to Inspired, Locally Owned Eating and Shopping Establishments (eat.shop guides) (Paperback)
We live in KC and we still bought the book to help us find new places to explore for date nights. My husband loves reading about the restaurants. We were sad to see two of our favorite places were not in the book. Blue Koy and Friend's Sushi and Bento. Great local places for sure! Maybe the author will write an addition someday to the book and include those.

This review is from: eat.shop kansas city: The Indispensable Guide to Inspired, Locally Owned Eating and Shopping Establishments (eat.shop guides) (Paperback)
This little 6" x 6" guide mentions all of the hip & trendy places in Kansas City, as well as the must-visit decades-old institutions. It really is a perfect guidebook for locals looking to branch out, as well as visitors, wishing to make sure they find the best that Kansas City has to offer.
The focus is on restaurants and shopping. Don't waste your calories on ho-hum fare or chain restaurants you can find anywhere -- KC has fantastic and unusual local restaurants (and chocolate shops and bakeries) -- and many of them are featured in here. Arthur Bryant's, babycakes, blue bird bistro, bluestem, christopher elbow, jess & jim's, le fou frog, . . . . you get the ideal. Likewise, some of the most interesting, unusual shops in town -- like Pryde's in Westport and Museo -- are featured. For each featured restaurant and shop, the authors provide an address and phone number, hours, details on what's served and payments accepted, great photographs, recommendations -- and the handy maps show you just how to get there. A Great Resource for locals & visitors. Published in 2009 -- may be out of date in a few years, but great for now.
