Exploring the Plaza

Since it was my birthday over the weekend I decided to get out of Topeka for a day.  Even though I have taken many trips to Kansas City throughout my lifetime I still feel like I don't know a lot about Kansas City.  Everyone knows the stereotypical descriptions of Kansas City. . . good barbeque. .Jazz. . etc.  The city is unique and has a lot more to offer then just barbeque and luckily this weekend I got to explore this amazing city.  I spent the day on the Plaza and enjoyed the perfect weather we had this weekend.  The plaza is truly a unique experience and I think anyone visiting KC should spend a few hours walking through this part of town.  It has a wide variety of upscale restaurants and is great for anyone who enjoys shopping.  The plaza offers something for everyone and they even have several events throughout the year.  First Fridays is the one of my favorite examples of this and is a great mix of art, music, and food.  The other great thing about the plaza is that it's located very close to Westport which is a great place to go out on weekends.  It has many local bars and restaurants and is very popular place for the younger crowd of KC.  I had a great birthday weekend and Kansas City never seems to disappoint.  If you ever get the chance to go up to KC then make sure you check these places out.  See you guys next week!
