Yes, we know: Most people go to this valley favorite pizzeria for the tasty pies. We love them, too-but you’ll find us ordering the Greek Salad, a bowl full of cucumbers, black olives, red onions, fresh Roma tomatoes, artichoke hearts, spinach and feta cheese. Speaking of salads, don’t miss the Antipasto, piled with artichoke hearts, […]

CenPho favorite Richardson’s of New Mexico burned down in a fire in 2010 and was finally resurrected in early 2012 with the same menu. The new location is alongside sister restaurant Rokerij, which is similar but with smaller plates. As the name implies, Richardson’s is a purely Southwestern affair, but that doesn’t mean it’s rundown […]
True story: Waylon Jennings and Charley Pride both bent elbows and sang songs at Rips a lifetime ago. (Don’t believe us? The owners have the photos to prove it.) That’s your first history lesson.

Nestled along the Camelback Corridor is The Ritz-Carlton. More of a small town in itself than a mere resort, it contains a 281-room hotel, Dove Mountain Golf Club, a fitness center, a heated outdoor pool, a sundeck, and three dining options: a bistro, a lounge, and a bar. The main restaurant, bistro 24, has earned […]

What used to be a Wendy’s fast-food restaurant has been converted successfully into a tasteful, tranquil Thai eatery, complete with a full bar. Service can be spotty, but the food delivers on almost all fronts, whether it’s a handful of spicy curry dishes (especially the seafood green curry) or modern takes on old standbys such […]
Originally, Nadia Holguin and Armando Hernandez were known for their super-casual taco joint where they served delicious Chihuahuan food from an old Dairy Queen drive-thru. But this culinary power duo has come a long way from then. This is perhaps best exemplified in their recently James Beard-recognized restaurant Santo Arcadia. Floral wallpaper, hanging greenery and […]

Fast-casual north Valley eatery Seydi’s Pupuseria & Grill has Phoenix hooked on El Salvador’s most famous dish: the pupusa. This mother-and-son-operated pupuseria is run by Usulutan, El Salvador-born Seydi Flores and her son Jose Flores. At the straightforward ordering counter, you can choose from 12 pupusas – some with shrimp, some with green peppers, and […]
From the outside, Shady’s may look like one of the old residences located along Indian School Road in east Phoenix, but inside, it’s a small pub and lounge with British flair. Its intimate, living room-like interior is full of stylish touches: black leather booths and chairs, a fireplace stocked with candles and caricatures of Ernest […]
We can all thank Martha Shemer, a longtime Phoenix resident, for this picturesque art museum. Built in the 1920s the stucco home was purchased by Shemer in 1984 at which time she donated the property at no cost to the City of Phoenix. The only condition was that she wanted it to used to house […]
