18th and Wyandotte

Within a half-block stretch of downtown you’ll find a sassy lingerie boutique, two eclectic apparel shops, a Peruvian boutique, a coffee shop, and a small independent snack shop that add up to create one of the more vibrant, diverse shopping areas in the city.

Creative window displays and photo-worthy signage contribute to the outer character of the area, which is one of the more packed stretches of street during the monthly First Fridays [1] gallery walk.

For a true taste of Kansas City [2] fashion, head to 18th and Wyandotte; it’s a worthwhile stop even if you do manage to leave empty-handed.
