Union Station is a classic KC landmark. It has several cool exhibits, including Mikaila's favorite model trains. It also houses several great restaurants. Harvey's has a great brunch, Parisi has delicious coffee, and Pierpont's Restaurant has delicious dinner options. We celebrated our 2nd anniversary here!

This is located right next to Union Station, so you can visit both at once. The WWI memorial is a great museum with the best views of downtown KC.

Up-Down is our nerdy paradise. It's one of our favorite bars with tons of arcade and patio games. They have a great patio and balcony with city views. They also have good pizza.

Green Lady is a sophisticated spot with great live Jazz, delicious cocktails, and an unmatched ambience. Plus, they're one of the only bars open until 3am.

While there are many Jack Stack locations, this one is closest to the hotel block. They have a more upscale atmosphere but they're a KC barbecue staple nonetheless.

The best 24 hour diner in the Crossroads. There's nothing like a Town Topic burger and tots after a long night out.

The Plaza is an outdoor shopping area with many delicious restaurants. We love the Made in KC store with lots of local KC goodies. They also have a Jack Stack location and Mill Creek Park nearby is a lovely walk on a fall day.

The Nelson Atkin's Museum is a KC staple. If you don't come for the museum, come for a photo op with the giant shuttlecock sculptures on the Nelson lawn.

The original Peanut has the best traditional buffalo wings.
