Like its famous barbecue, Kansas City is known for variety. When it comes to the thick, tangy, tomato and molasses sauce, you’re not limited to one type of meat as in other smokehouse hubs. Slow cooked beef, pork, chicken, and turkey all serve as a conveyance for the delectably sweet concoction. That same freedom of choice is mirrored in the city’s welcoming attractions.

And, with so many pet-friendly hotels in Kansas City like Hotel Phillips, you’ll never be too far from any of the fun.
