About this Neighborhood

Home to the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, the Kemper Museum, and the Kansas City Art Institute, Southmoreland is the city's cultural heart, and a streetcar extension along Main Street has spurred new development. The dining keeps pace: 23 restaurants averaging 4.5, with Q39 Midtown, Ragazza Food & Wine, and Eddie V's Prime Seafood drawing from more than 10,000 Yelp reviews. Foursquare's regulars map an arts-forward rhythm, galleries, an art museum, a theater, and coffee shops sit alongside bars and liquor stores. Seven parks and a court give it green breathing room. It's a neighborhood where museums and a strong dinner scene reinforce each other.
