One of my favorite cities. Power and Light district is fun for a weekend night but it's pretty crowded and not my favorite area. If you're looking for free things to do there's a river walk trail that my gf and I loved. Joes Kansas City is the best BBQ in the city despite some who may argue. Go see the fountains at Country Club Plaza. Westport has the best bars and restaurant scene, and if you're there on the weekend they have a cool farmers market going on at River Market

ETA: The zoo is fun, and if you can get up early enough to beat the crowds the boulevard tour is worthwhile too

My favorite restaurants are Q39 and Jack Stack bbq. Jack Stack is a bit of a driver.

Obviously P&L (power and lights)is the big attraction for bars, But westport is more "hip". Also chain restaurants and chain bars around P&L

For shopping or walking around(also fine dinning) the Plaza is a must.

Negroe Leagues baseball museum is really good, if you are into baseball it is pretty cool to read about all the teams. They have some funny names. New Orleans had a team.
Hereford House has a good steak. It is out on the Interstate near the ballpark. Ballpark area is really nice. Lots of tailgating going on if you get there early.

Q39 and Joe's for BBQ with Q39 getting the nod for a better dining experience (stand in line at Joe's but have a waiter at q39).

Jackstack also good dining experience but BBQ not as good IMO.

Nelson Atkins museum is cool. WW1 museum also cool.

If you're into jazz, Mutual Musicians Foundation is really cool with after hours sets kicking off late night. Google it to see if it's something you'd like.

I've been living here for a year now. It is a great city and tons to do.

Of course the BBQ is pretty damn good. Q39 is the best in the city right now. For a hole in the wall place, that is actually pretty close to the stadiums check out LCs. I don't care to much for Jack Stack, seems a bit overpriced.

Awesome museums here. Highly suggest going to the WWI museum and the Nelson Atkins.

If you like beer, there are some great breweries. Crane isn't far from the stadiums and puts out some great sours. Boulevard has a great new tasting room, and of course has great beers. Torn Label, Cinder Block, and Double Shift also put out some great beers.

If you are looking for mixed drinks you can go to Manifesto. It is a speakeasy in the basement of an old hotel. Great mixed drinks.

WWI museum is really well done if you re a history buff.

Lots of great food for meat eaters. I agree with above posters about Jacks Stacks. I had some kind of combo plate with beef ribs, brisket and some other meat.
