The Plaza in Kansas City is so beautiful, to really understand what I mean, you'd have to go yourself. There are all kinds of restaurants and stores for everyones budget. There are also many events like the art fair, plaza lights, and literary fair. My personal favorite is when they put all the Christmas lights up in the plaza, it's so beautiful and romantic! You can go on carriage rides and gondola rides while you're there, and even shop! There's so much to that you can do there. I think it's a great date place, and a fantastic place to meet new people. I really haven't seen another city with something quite as entertaining/beautiful/eventful as the Plaza in Kansas City. The Cheesecake Factory is a great place to go get some food, they have spectacular service, and of course, great cheesecake.
Pros: Beautiful, romantic, great for anything from dates to families to hanging out with friends, and there are many things to see and do
Cons: Parking can be a hassle sometimes
