Under the diverse umbrella of contemporary American cuisine, the frequently changing menu combines French, Italian, and even occasional Japanese-inspired dishes with finesse. Handmade pastas, luscious seasonal soups, and the flat iron steak are always good bets, and you won’t find fresher seafood in Phoenix. It’s no wonder this place was named a James Beard “Best […]

Showing 1431 - 1452 of 2343In a poll conducted to determine what Arizona’s state food should be, we pit the Sonoran hot dog against the prickly pear cactus fruit, and hot dogs won by a pretty wide margin. One of the best versions can be found at a stand on the southwest corner of 20th Street and Indian School Road […]
An improbably low-profile restaurant in Arcadia’s Gaslight Square, Nook is a kind of trattoria speakeasy: a nice spot for a glass of wine and satisfying Italian eats but still inconspicuous enough to stay off East Phoenix’s who’s-who restaurant radar. You’ll want a Neapolitan-style pizza here, perhaps the Porco e Funghi lit up with a near-perfect […]

The name means “Italian Farmhouse,” but with its high-ceilinged industrial-farmhouse décor and black-and-white gingham napkins, this appealing Sam Fox restaurant looks more American than Italian. But never mind. The bring-the-outdoors-in ambiance is fantastic and nowhere more so than at the indoor-outdoor bar, situated at the front corner and bordered by fruit trees, herbs and veggies […]
North Mountain Brewing boasts a solid list of brews and a “beer-centric” menu. However, the brewers at North Mountain really excel in the art of beer naming. Funk 49, Hugh Hefeweizen, Soiled Dove Dirty Blonde Ale, “Neurotic” Belgian Ale, and James Brown Ale are just a few examples of the ever-changing, but always entertaining beer […]
Part of the Phoenix Mountains Preserve, the park features a paved summit trail, as well as tougher hikes for those seeking more of a challenge. It’s also a choice spot for picnicking.

The gallery serves the university community and the public with exhibitions and gallery talks by national and international artists and is vital to the education of students earning a degree in […]
Open since 1971, Nu Towne Saloon has earned landmark status as the Valley’s oldest gay bar still in operation. Located in east Phoenix across Van Buren Street from the equally historic Tovrea Castle, it’s survived a lot over five decades: recessions, the fickleness of LGBTQ+ crowds and a massive fire in 2010 that completely gutted its interior. […]
For more than a decade the fine folks at NYPD Pizza have been putting their ovens to good use, feeding the Valley’s masses. With a large menu of pizzas, calzones, sandwiches, pasta and wings, you’d be hard pressed not to find a selection to fit your Italian-style cravings. NYPD offers great lunch deals and a […]
This beautifully remodeled Arcadia restaurant and brewhouse offers a superb craft beer list, delicious hand crafted cocktails, and two gorgeous patios to day drink an afternoon away. If you get hungry, stick with the eatery’s sandwiches and BBQ items. They make a mean burger and their brisket sandwich is one of our favorites. Check out […]
