Last year, Ben and I went to The Plaza Art Fair late on Sunday afternoon, hoping just to catch the tail end of the event and enjoy the day. Instead, we discovered a gold mine.
Besides the amazing artwork and gobs of people filling the area, almost all of the restaurants on the Plaza set up booths and serve food right there on the street, so it's also a great opportunity to try some really good food.
It wasn't at all surprising that we found ourselves eyeing the food just as much as the beautiful photography. An already great experience became the stuff of legends when we realized that these restaurants didn't want to haul all of the left over food and beer back to their buildings at the end of the day. So what did they do? They started selling it at HALF-PRICE. We're both pretty big suckers for anything that's on discount, especially when it's food and drink.
The real fun started when we began doing price comparisons and trying to haggle. "Oh, what's that, UNO Pizza? Two bucks for a 20oz Boulevard? The same Boulevard that we just had at the PF Chang's booth for a buck seventy-five? How about I give you a dollar fifty?"
My suggestion for Sunday? Catch the Chiefs game, as bad as they may be, take a quick Sunday afternoon nap, and then head to the Plaza for a beautiful day and some cheap food and beer.

I love the Plaza Art Fair and am so sad I will have to miss it this year. Didn't know the tip on the food and drink, though. Thanks.
