What’s your “most underrated spot” in Downtown Columbia?

I would say Maude Vintage and Leo’s Vintage & Variety are underrated. They’ve been around Columbia for a while, but I don’t see them getting nearly as much love as they deserve. Both have such unique finds!

Two community treasure chests that are hidden in plain sight: The State Historical Society of Missouri’s Center for Missouri Studies at 605 Elm Street and the Columbia Public Library at 100 West Broadway. Have you been to the SHSMO? When was the last time you went to the local library? What are you waiting for?

MKT Trail gets all the love but Hinkson creek trail with its curves, bridges and views is wonderful as well. Follow it to a sunrise on the bluffs at Capen Park — easily an underrated experience.

I love grabbing a quick and affordable lunch at Thai Express. Pro-tip: Take it over to iTap and enjoy it with a beer (to help with the spice of course)! Also, The Vault in the basement of The Tiger Hotel makes a killer cocktail.
