My hometown is not too far, it offers a cute main street with local shops and restaurants! Take it to-go to English Lading and eat alongside the Missouri River. Great way to enjoy a nice outside walk as well.

Night Outs
If you're looking for a place to "bar hop" this could be right for you. With live music on the weekends, there is usually a crowd! Take the street car to and from here to make commuting easier.

Around this area you'll find a younger going out crowd. Kelly's is one of my favorites with cheap drinks and pizza in the back! On the weekends, expect to pay a cover charge after 10:30 PM.

Traveler advice
Getting around
Street Car
We are very lucky to have a street car that is completely free - as of now it runs from the River Market all the way to Crown Center. KC is getting the extension to the Plaza here soon! Taking this is the best way to get across the majority of the city with ease!
What to pack
Check the Weather
As some may now, our weather is very unpredictable. If traveling in the colder seasons, pack some layers as days could start of cold and warm up! Summer months can be very humid, pack sun protection and loose clothing.
