Owner Sid Campbell was a longtime cook at Pischke’s Paradise, the now-shuttered Scottsdale eatery, so he’s revived some favorite Pischke’s dishes here in tribute to his late employer, Chris Pischke (the Fire Island pizza, in particular, is worth a try). And as the restaurant name suggests, Local Breeze has a subtle tropical vibe, capitalizing on […]

Young gun chef Chris McKinley might “just want to have fun,” but that doesn’t mean his menu at The Local should be overlooked. The Roosevelt Row restaurant started off strong earlier this year with lunch, dinner, late-night eats, and brunch — though they’ve cut out brunch service for the summer. On the current menu you’ll […]

There’s so much to love at this popular café, but we go back for the iced coffee, strong and black and absolutely perfect-a spunky blend of coffee and espresso that keeps us going all day. One of these goes great with a Lola scone, moist inside, crunchy outside, and delicious everywhere. Prefer a hot beverage? […]

Blink and you’ll miss this place. But follow the wafting smells of deep-fried tortillas, and your nose will lead you to Los Compadres. This family-owned Mexican joint deep fries its tortillas to order, so the standard Sonoran fare is always hot and fresh. And everything from the beans and rice to the mouthwatering green chile […]

But first, order a pitcher of margaritas, tangy with fresh-squeezed lime juice, perfect for washing down the crispy chips and red and green salsas served to every visitor. The menu is careful to annotate spicy food as such, and while many […]

Occupying a historic Fifth Street bungalow mere steps from Roosevelt Row, the walls, rafters, and bathrooms are adorned with works by local creatives. A nook beside the bar and a backyard stage hosts musicians and DJs across every genre. And it’s a […]

Luci’s Healthy Marketplace specializes in organic and natural foods – sort of like a pint-sized Sprouts, minus the produce department. It’s bright and airy inside, with a stylish retro-modern theme, a coffee bar, and a Viking Test Kitchen, where they offer cooking demonstrations. For a neighborhood market, Luci’s is pretty unique. Read our review.
“Upscale” and “bowling alley” aren’t words that you often hear in the same sentence. Until Lucky Strike Lanes opened at CityScape, that is. This California-based chain isn’t your typical bowling alley, full of church groups and old people smoking cigarettes in a dingy lounge. Nope, Lucky Strike is far more posh. A dozen lanes for […]
The name of this downtown Phoenix bar hints at the space, which functions really as two separate concepts: Luckys Indoor and Luckys Outdoor. Inside, the vibe is all college dive bar, complete with low lighting, pool tables, twinkle lights and Skee Ball. Outside, the huge patio space includes a large deck, a grassy area with […]
