Roam KC
R&R | NEIGHBORHOODS
Go ROAM in our favorite KC neighborhoods!
WHY we roam: great shopping, happy hour and nightcap, evening stroll, lively atmosphere, fancy dinners, green
space and of course The Plaza Lights (holiday season)
HOW we roam: car-sharing service, scooters or bikes (garage parking readily available too, although we prefer not to drive)
The talk of the town – literally everyone, natives and tourists alike, know or have heard of “The Plaza”. The Country Club District of Kansas City is a must-see and offers retail, restaurants and entertainment venues spanning beautifully designed Seville Spain inspired architecture. The neighborhoods surrounding The Plaza consist of upscale apartment buildings and homes as well as walking trails and parks. Loose Park and the Nelson Lawn offer plenty of room to roam with nature. The Plaza is also the first outdoor shopping center in the world!

WHY we roam: budget-friendly, dive bars (some of the oldest bars in the city), celebrating, dancing, karaoke, coffee shops
HOW we roam: car, ride-share, scooters or bikes
When we want to stay up late and celebrate life, this is where we head. Midtown / Westport is full of festive bars and pubs, late night clubs and retro-chic diners. During the day, roamers shop at trendy local fashion boutiques and snack at the local lunch hot spots. Evening brings a much different scene with fun at every corner. Bars, restaurants and entertainment venues open their doors to those seeking an evening of song and dance. Enjoy your night… the neighborhood is up late.

We’re all about the arts! The Arts District is anchored by the Kauffman Center, one of the world’s most impressive performing arts facilities. The district is packed with happening art galleries and music venues and you’ll find local artists on the streets enriching the spirit of the neighborhood. Hip coffee bars, rooftop terraces and breweries are hidden throughout. The district is packed with chef owned, local, one-of-a-kind restaurants - you won’t find any chains here. At monthly First Friday events, art shows, music performances and food trucks draw big crows. The free street car navigates right through the middle providing easy access to Crown Center and Downtown.

Enjoy the City’s largest farmers market and some of its best foods. The Kansas City River Market is just north of Downtown and east of Columbus Park! The River Market is the perfect spot for those eager to explore downtown and retreat to a quieter, more intimate neighborhood. Casual global eateries, gourmet grocery stores and indie boutiques surround pavilions hosting a weekend farmers’ market (each Saturday morning). Plenty of patios are offered for those days when the weather is just right.
