Things to Do
Coming into town for the weekend? Here are some of our recommendations for places to stay, things to do, and our favorite places to eat and drink!
Hotels
Loews Kansas City Hotel
The Loews is such a fun place to stay if you want an upscale downtown experience! Exceptional bars and restaurants throughout the hotel pair perfectly with incredible city views from the rooms. Many of our favorite downtown coffee shops, restaurants, and bars are within a short walking distance since the hotel is centrally located!
The Fontaine
If you're looking for the quintessential Country Club Plaza experience, The Fontaine is for you! We love this hotel and everything it has to offer. There is a gorgeous rooftop bar that's open throughout the seasons, and the upscale shopping and dining on The Plaza are just right outside of your front door!
Things To Do
The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art
One of our go-to recommendations for folks who visit KC and ask about things to do! We love wandering through the museum and getting ourselves lost in the beauty of all of the art. If you plan to visit the Nelson, make sure you carve out enough time in your trip agenda to take in the incredible art both inside and outside of the museum!
Chicken N Pickle - North Kansas City
Looking for some physical activity and friendly competition? Enjoy pickleball, yard games, and an awesome restaurant and bar at Chicken N Pickle! This is a fun activity for a couple, a large group, and any size of party in between! If you definitely want to play pickleball during your visit, make sure to visit their website and reserve a court ahead of time. The indoor courts book up fast!
Green Lady Lounge
If you want to experience true Kansas City jazz, the Green Lady Lounge is THE place to do it! The minute you walk inside, you're transported to the 1940's with incredible decor and a cozy atmosphere. Their drink menu is fantastic and it's easy to sit and listen to the live jazz as you sip on some cocktails! Our piece of advice is to look at the show schedule ahead of time, and try to arrive between show times to snag a seat. Otherwise, you might get stuck with standing room only!
City Market
The City Market is such a fun place to explore on a Saturday or Sunday morning! The perimeter of the market is made up of brick and mortar shops with the middle of the market being filled with vendors selling their fresh produce, jewelry, and locally-made goods. Be sure to explore the surrounding blocks for some of our favorites: Betty Rae's, Il Lazzarone, and Harry's Country Club!
coffee shops, restaurants, & bars
We have A LOT of favorites when it comes to this category! These suggestions are just the tip of the iceberg, so please reach out to us if you're needing more recommendations because we have PLENTY!
