    Room 39 is a farm-to-table restaurant located on Kansas City's iconic 39th street, a midtown destination for unique shopping, local eats and tasty cocktails. My must-visit spot on 39th street for great food and an inviting atmosphere is Room 39. Once you enter the door and step through the curtains, you'll be greeted by the friendly staff and offered a table or a seat at the bar, but no matter where you choose, you’ll be surrounded by friendly people and mouth-watering scents. I often prefer the bar because the patrons are as friendly as the staff, and I always seem to leave making a new friend or connection. The restaurant’s brick walls are usually adorned with custom art from local artists so it’s great eye candy in-between each bite and/or sip. The menu does not disappoint: Room 39 has some of the best breakfast and lunch in town, and dinner is also amazing. For breakfast, my personal favorite is the artichoke toast that comes with two perfectly poached eggs on top of a loaf of toasted ciabatta bread covered in a homemade artichoke spread. I legit have dreams about this dish! The burger is one of the best in KC, and surprisingly, Room 39 has the best veggie burger in town. The fries are crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, making it hard to leave any behind on your plate. The chef, Ted Habiger, is a three-time James Beard Foundation Outstanding Chef Award nominee and has been proudly serving the KC area for 20 years and counting. So make sure to add Room 39 to your list and head down to 39th street to experience one of the most eclectic streets in the city.

    For those wondering if the revitalization of Midtown will continue...here's some additional, very current, information to consider.

    Shelia's Grinder Shop
    If you are familiar with Westport you will remember Mario's. Their grinders will occasionally haunt my dreams. My dad worked just around the corner so we would often meet there for lunch. I took my daughter there for the first time when she was a week old. In 2017 we found out this fixture of our family was closing and our hearts broke a little. The heartbreak turned to excitement when we found out that Shelia Shields will be carrying on. Shelia has worked at the shop since 1984. No one is better suited to carry on the tradition of the grinder. A recent visit proved that Sheila is doing a great job. The grinders are amazing. Grab some of their famous pasta salad too. You will not be disappointed.

    Kansas City Art Institute
    I believe that the KC Art Institute is a hidden gem. I know artists who have attended or currently attend the KCAI and they have nothing but glowing things to say about this great institute. They were able to explore and experiment with so many different types of art and grew tremendously as artists. They offer classes in video graphics, animation, painting, video effects, mixed media, print making, interactive technology and much more. Their students are creative and passionate about art.

    The KCAI is conveniently located just 200 yards from the Nelson Art Gallery and 100% of their professors are practicing artists, scholars, and designers. I believe that the Kansas City Art Institute will be attracting a lot more ambitious artists who want to expand on their knowledge and create something that changes the way we view art.
