Description

The City Market dates from Kansas City's earliest days, when steamboats arrived on the shores of the Missouri River to ply their trade. Today, this downtown icon hosts farmers from around the region who sell their fresh vegetables, live poultry, and baked goods. It also is home to several restaurants, such as Blue Nile and Winslow's City Market Barbecue, and ethnic shops, such as Africa 2000 and Carollo's Grocery. The Arabia Steamboat Museum also resides at the City Market.
