The Sweet Life

Roll out the red carpet and fire up the chocolate fountain, because the 29th Annual Best of Phoenix® celebrates The Sweet Life, from eye candy to candy cocktails.

True, our fair metropolis is often best described as a diamond in the rough — but there's plenty that sparkles.

You don't have to be a celebrity to live like one, and we've braved the heat, light-rail construction, and a few mean bouncers to show you how.

From the top of North Mountain to the dance floor at Glam, we've found our city's prettiest views, the tastiest restaurants, the trendiest shopping, the swankest clubs, the best golfing, climbing, hiking, biking — even a wiffleball league.

We could go on and on. And so we did. Watch out; you might just get a cavity.

Welcome to Candyland.
