A Luxurious Friday Night In Kansas City
Want to have a luxurious date night while you’re visiting Kansas City? Here’s our suggestions on where to eat, things to do, and places for late night fun.
Dinner – Novel Restaurant
1927 McGee, Kansas City, MO 64108
Website
Novel is an upscale restaurant serving creative flavor combinations of classic dishes. The minimalistic decor exemplifies that luxurious atmosphere and the food – the FOOD! The Spring Pea Soup is amazing with strawberry and floral accents, and their tortellini dish comes with oxtail and the most decadent bone marrow you can imagine. Whatever you get, don’t miss the cauliflower side dish – the walnut sauce makes a widely hated vegetable absolutely delicious.
Entertainment – Kauffman Center For The Performing Arts
1601 Broadway Blvd, Kansas City, MO 64108
Website
After dinner, head to the Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts. There, you can admire the stunning architecture (reminiscent of the Sydney Opera House) and also watch a ballet or symphony performance – options change regularly. It’s a great excuse to get dressed up and enjoy some culture!
Dessert – Andre’s Confiserie
5018 Main St, Kansas City, MO 64112
Website
After seeing a show, go to Andre’s for coffee and decadent dessert. Get an assortment of their truffles or a couple of pieces of tortes and cakes and indulge. It certainly won’t help your waistline, but it’s absolutely worth it. It’s a KC establishment for a reason – every recipe has been perfected, and the Swiss techniques add to the allure, since everyone knows Swiss chocolate is the best. If you can’t decide, the hazelnut torte is to die for!
Drinks – The Monarch Lounge And Bar
4808 Roanoke Pkwy, Kansas City, MO 64112
Website
Finish the evening with drinks at the most luxurious lounge in Kansas City – The Monarch. Designed and owned by an architect, the place is stunning without sacrificing comfort. If the weather’s nice, sit on the terrace so you can people-watch. Try a cocktail flight, inspired by locations along a monarch butterfly’s migration flight path, to taste new concepts in mixology. It’s a wonderful place to chat with your friends or a date while you wrap up the night.
