Power & Light District
Just across the street from T-Mobile Center, the Kansas City Power & Light District offers blocks of dining and entertainment at nearly every hour. The neighborhood is anchored by the KC Live! Block, home to daily pep rallies and the Miller Lite Fan Fest Live! during the Big 12 Basketball Championships.
Venture out into the surrounding street for everything from steak and sushi to after-hours DJs.
River Market
The historic neighborhood is beloved for its timeless charm. In the area, you'll find coffee shops, all-day restaurants, longstanding options for a postgame drink and the area's largest farmers market on weekends.

Crossroads Arts District
Known for its creative spirit, the Crossroads Arts District reaches across the streets south of Power & Light. The area is defined by art galleries, local boutiques, award-winning eateries and distinctive coffee shops. In the East Crossroads area, breweries and distilleries are abundant and eclectic.
