A visit to Outrider Rooftop Lounge feels like a cheat. Surely you have to be a hotel guest at the Canopy Scottsdale Old Town Hotel or at least a tourist visiting Scottsdale to access this rooftop bar, right? Wrong.

How many diners know that the giant, eleven-foot-tall stone horses flanking the entrances of many P.F. Chang’s symbolize the original Forbidden City in China, which was built for China’s first emperor Qin Shi Huangdi?

This venerable Scottsdale institution’s floor-to-ceiling overhaul of earlier this year turned an old favorite into just another nicely lighted, neatly decorated downtown restaurant. Problems with early versions of the menu led to a house-cleaning of chef and staff, and a new menu, management, and kitchen crew are promised this summer.
Where else can one find both an allergen chart and a nutritionist’s bio on the menu, for those who are so health conscious they have to know what’s in everything they eat? We love Pita Jungle for this, and for a whole lot more: its eclectic blend of fresh ingredients; creative way with wraps and […]
