If you are moving to Kansas City this holiday season, your local moving company has compiled a list of 4 popular, festive Kansas City districts that can serve as your holiday headquarters.
1) Country Club Plaza: This Spanish-inspired district is home to over 120 stores, all within a 15-block radius. Carrying famous designer stores such as Michael Korrs and Kate Spade, while also featuring Kansas City original stores like Baldwin and Standard Style, Country Club Plaza is the perfect place to get a mix of designer and local products for your family’s holiday gifts. Even if you are not gift shopping, Country Club Plaza showcases a variety of contemporary art, as well as the KCP&L Plaza Lights…a Kansas City tradition.
2) Downtown/Power & Light District: The Power & Light District is perfect if you are looking to buy fine jewelry for holiday gifts for your loved ones. You can also shop eight stores in one at The Garment District. The Crossroads Art District is where you can find exquisite stocking stuffers like handmade stationary or artisan chocolate. If you are a Dr. Seuss fan, The City Market transforms into Whoville for the holiday, complete with appearances by The Grinch and a Cindy Lou Who look-alike contest.
3) Brookside & Waldo: Visit Brookside Toy & Science for vintage games and toys that are perfect for gifts for your youngest of loved ones. Reading Reptiles is famous for being one of the country’s oldest children’s booksellers. Take your little ones to Blue Grotto for wood-fired pizza, or to Julian’s for modern, authentic comfort food. Then, make a day out of your trip to the Brookside & Waldo district by walking to the Kansas City Zoo nearby.
4) On the Kansas Side: The Sunflower State: If you are looking for more of a traditional mall arrangement of stores to complete your holiday gift shopping, The Sunflower State is where you can find Nike, Saks Off 5th, and Brooks Brothers. You can also have fun whirling around at The Ice at Park Place.
