Hooray! All You Need for This Saturday's Urban Wine Walk Are a Map and a Plan (Oh, and a Light Rail Pass. You'll Need That, Too. And a Bit of Cash. Probably Pants.)

The election's over, the weather's rub-it-in-the-faces-of-snowy-states perfect, and some Harvard dudes sent a flippin' hamburger into space. What better way to celebrate with some wine, some walkin', and some more wine -- all urban-style, natch. See also: My Wine Cellar & Bistro Hosting 2nd Annual Wine Festival The sixth Urban...

The election's over, the weather's rub-it-in-the-faces-of-snowy-states perfect, and some Harvard dudes sent a flippin' hamburger into space. What better way to celebrate with some wine, some walkin', and some more wine -- all urban-style, natch.

The sixth Urban Wine Walk will happen from 1 to 6 p.m. on Saturday, November 10. Featuring 16 restaurants offering up wallet-friendly wine samples and snacks along the Central Corridor and in downtown Phoenix, this light-rail-friendly event means taking in the sights (and the spirits) car-free.

What do you need to score a free 2013 Urban Wine Walk souvenir glass, triple-chocolate whoopie pie, or a sample of vino made from Maui-grown pineapples? Three items: a map, a light-rail pass, and an ID (walkers must be 21 and over to participate.)

Here's one of those three items. Plus, a list of participating restaurants.

Since Saturday's Urban Wine Walk walkers can take charge of their own destiny by picking a starting point and then letting it roll from there, having a plan means getting to the best spots first.

For a map and list of the participants and what they're offering, check out this Google map page. For more details about the event, go to the Urban Wine Walk website.

- 1130 The Restaurant - Arrogant Butcher - Blue Hound Kitchen & Cocktails - Brick Pizzeria & Wine Bar - Cheuvront Restaurant & Wine Bar - District American Kitchen & Wine Bar - Hula's Modern Tiki - Icon Lounge at Renaissance Phoenix Downtown - Kincaid's Fish, Chop & Steak House (Opens at 3pm) - Maizie's Café - Networks - Province Restaurant - The Rose & Crown - Steve's Greenhouse Grill - The Strand Urban Italian - Tom's Tavern & 1929 Grill
