The original "Peanut" - a local fav. This hole-in-the wall is a real dive, but just as delicious. We recommend you start with a basket of fries, order a dozen wings (for 2 people), and lots of soda. They're HOT! Most wings eaten by one person was 19, and she was a real sight to see!

My absolute FAV brunch place in Kansas City. We found the bottom of the bottomless mimosas. Located in the Crossroads area, this place is an easy drive, but picking your favorite off the menu is another story! I highly recommend the Mac ' N' Cheese!

Some of KC's most iconic BBQ! There are several Jack Stack locations, including one on the Plaza, but the FreightHouse location is pretty special! We went there for our 1 year anniversary! Make sure and get a reservation, maybe a few days in advance, just to be sure!

KC Power and Light, or P+L as the locals say, is located in the heart of downtown KC, right off the street car, and features excellent dining and nightlife. On Thursdays in the summer, check out Hot Country Nights, free country concerts. Or, catch a big game with your 10,000 closest friends on the big screen. We loved being in the heart of the city watching the World Cup!

One of KC's most famous bars located in Historic Westport! Kelly's has been in the Kelly family for generations and is a GREAT spot for live music, pizza and beer! Check out their rooftop deck, or Joe's Pizza by the Slice! Nothing tastes better at 2AM. Get there before 10pm to avoid a $10 cover and skip the line. And see if you can beat our high score on the Pop-A-Shot!

An indoor shopping mall, complete with restaurants and great activities for the Kids. We love the Crayola store, and Fritz's, where your food is delivered on a train! But get there early or prepare to wait in line. In the winter, this place comes to life with gorgeous holiday displays, ice skating, and the Mayor's Christmas tree!
