Food Scene
BRIO Tuscan Grille
502 Nichols DriveAmazing happy hour and late night reverse happy hour.
KC is known for it's BBQ and one of the original champions of sauce os Gates. When it's time to yell out your order, trust me, you'll want a "beef on bun, lean as". Your taste buds will thank you.
We have lots of great BBQ places in town but Gates has resisted becoming too commercial and excels at keeping that down-home KC feel.

Topsey's is famous for their homemade gourmet cinnamon popcorn. It's so famous, it's traditionally shipped across the US. In fact, it's the only place I know of that makes this particular flavor of cinnamon popcorn.
Little known fact: Topsey's is the oldest merchant still operating on the plaza.

Museum of fine arts. I recommend checking out their website for some of the best traveling exhibit schedules. An upscale restaurant inside with live jazz and such on certain nights.
They also have a pretty romantic outdoor sculpture exhibit that is free to all with a large picnic area where many come to enjoy the day. In fact, each year Kansas Citians come together to break last years record of the worlds largest picnic.

Shopping
Not quite a mall but it is 15 blocks of over 100 shops and 30 restaurants. The plaza is an iconic district for our city of fountains. Easy to see why when you get there. If you're a first time KC visitor, I highly recommend a stroll, shopping, dinner or cocktails on the plaza.
