We are all eager to travel again, and this month's issue hits the road with contributor Katy Schamberger's suggestions for safe road trips going north, south, east, and west of Kansas City. And if you're staying home, why not a luxe staycation in the presidential suite of five of KC's most iconic hotels? Photographer Aaron Leimkuehler shot the suites for a 12-page pictorial. Of course, summer wouldn't be complete without plenty of ice cream, so our food writer, Kelsey Cipolla, introduces us to 20 local ice cream shops to try. Our Q&A introduces opera singer David Morgans Sanchez, who grew up in Liberty and just won a Grammy for the cast recording of Broadway's Porgy and Bess. Departments and columns include beauty, wellness, and fashion, entertaining, expanded arts and culture coverage, dining out and dining in, with recipes and up-to-date info on KC's restaurant and bar scene.
