BEST OF PHOENIX® 2001

A lot of us have lived here a very long time - baking in the sun, basking in the joys of year-round shirt-sleeve weather. We well-settled villagers have tracked down the best of everything and, like a lot of spoiled children, we've hoarded many of these secrets. We've jealously kept our favorite finds to ourselves - squirreling away the address of the best place to buy a baguette, the only place to experience autumn, the number to call for gourmet delivery service. Until now. Here, in a sincere display of largess, the staff of New Times shares its best-kept secrets. In these pages, we - and, in our popular Readers' Choice poll, you - fess up about where to go to get the good stuff.
