The Plaza District Council is excited to introduce Hello KC, a new mobile-friendly guide that makes it easier to discover the people, places, and experiences that make Kansas City unique.

Hello KC is built around a simple idea: local places are best discovered through local knowledge. Instead of relying solely on algorithms or reviews, the platform is curated by neighborhood organizations and community partners who know their districts best. The result is a more authentic way to explore Kansas City.

Whether visiting Kansas City for the first time, hopping off the KC Streetcar, or simply looking for something new to explore, Hello KC helps you find what's nearby and worth checking out. The app highlights local restaurants, parks, public art, cultural attractions, and neighborhood favorites across the city.

The app is perfect for those moments when you're already out and about and asking:

• What's nearby?

• Where should we go next?

• What local spots are worth checking out?

• Which neighborhood should we explore?

The launch of Hello KC comes at an exciting time for Kansas City. With record KC Streetcar ridership, continued investment in neighborhood destinations, and major events bringing new visitors to the region, there has never been a better opportunity to showcase the local businesses, attractions, and experiences that make our city special.

As the founding organization behind Hello KC, the Plaza District Council is proud to help connect people to the neighborhoods that give Kansas City its character. We look forward to growing the platform alongside community partners across the city and helping even more people experience Kansas City through a local lens.
