Creamistry

We’ll admit that the whole liquid nitrogen ice cream thing is probably a gimmick. If so, count us in on all the gimmicks, because Creamistry ice cream tastes fresh, sweet, and rich. There are many flavor options and mix-ins, and you can even get it dairy-free. This is something we can get used to, so […]

Crescent Ballroom

Charlie Levy’s stylish venue and nightspot has earned a rarefied aura among both music fans and hipsters alike thanks to its many amenities geared towards concertgoers, as well as a posh atmosphere and a distinctive lineup of nightly shows. The Crescent’s main room boasts bleacher-like stadium seating along the back wall, which allows patrons a […]

Crooked Sky Farms

Farmer Frank and crew have a pretty smooth operation running on their South Phoenix farm. Their veggies are raised without the use of pesticides, and you won’t find a single genetically modified seed on-site. The farm grows everything from watermelons to corn to exotic heirloom tomatoes and even has a pick-your-own artichoke harvest in late […]

Crudo

Hidden away in the back of the Gaslight Square Plaza at 36th Street and Indian School, chef Cullen Campbell’s contemporary, upscale home of inventive raw seafood, handmade pasta dishes, signature mozzarellas, and wood-grilled fare satisfies on several levels.

Cruisin’ 7th

Cruisin’ 7th Show Bar & Lounge dates back to 1977. Back then, it was located just north of Roosevelt Street and Central Avenue and was (appropriately) called Cruisin’ Central. The bar changed its name upon its 2003 move to its current location, where its calling card is splashed across the standalone building: “The Best Drag […]

CRUjiente Tacos

This Arcadia eatery, found at the north end of 40th Street’s restaurant row, is a rare dinner-only taco type of place (or close to that; it doesn’t open until 4 p.m.). CRUjiente Tacos Chef Richard Hinojosa likes to get regional with his menu — dishes might be inspired by Maine, Korean, or Polynesian cuisine. Tacos […]

Cuban Foods & Bakery

This small, tidy spot of homestyle Cuban eats features hearty and gratifying traditional dishes that keep the restaurant’s Cuban, Colombian, and Puerto Rican patrons coming back on a regular basis. The Cuban sandwich is almost a rite of passage here, but there are other good dishes, too: Slow-cooked meats redolent with garlic, onions, and cumin; […]

Culinary Dropout

We usually go to Culinary Dropout at The Yard to take advantage of the ping-pong tables, cornhole, shuffleboard, and 1,400 square feet of patio space. Unlike some Phoenix spots, this is a bar where you can take anyone — your co-worker, parents, picky-eater friends — to have a decent drink and a good time. When […]
