The Plaza is the best of ANYTHING in KC because it is all it has. The Plaza is the only nice area in Kansas City, really. This is where you'd most likely take out-of-town visitors. There are very few options in this city. My father, who lives in the East Coast and has also visited almost every city in the US as well as the world was not very impressed with Kansas City when I took him for a tour. He agreed that the Plaza was the best place, even though it wasn't even that big of a deal. It is true. The Plaza gets ""old."" You can only go there so many times. It's really not anything special. Most of the stores and restaurants are all retail and chains, all of which you can find at shopping malls. Even so, the Plaza is still the BEST in Kansas City.
