We know all about Mary Coyle’s ice cream treats, but we never used to think about this longtime Phoenix dessert palace as a great lunch place. We sure do now, thanks to the Sweet Virginia Ham Sandwich, a Coyle family recipe made with thin-sliced ham, sweet relish, lettuce, tomato and mayonnaise. It’s our favorite, next […]
Noted baseball architects Ellerbe Beckett designed this beautiful facility that serves as home to the Milwaukee Brewers in Maryvale. Built in 1998, this park was originally planned to house two spring training teams. There are no fancy-schmancy country club seats, or waiters to bring you drinks.

They strive to achieve the highest quality of coffee beans and espresso drinks every day and also serve house made pastries.

At first, newcomers may feel a […]

The word “farm” tends to bring to mind images of cabbages and carrots lying in the sun, fields of wheat, and rows of berry bushes. McReynolds Farms is not that kind of farm. Instead, the McReynolds family focuses on providing quality meats, rotisseries, and BBQ sauce. The thing they do best is help you enjoy […]
Just south of downtown Phoenix is where you’ll find some of the best meat in Phoenix. The Meat Shop is an old-fashioned butcher shop that sells all-natural, hormone-free meat, including pork and chicken raised locally and grass-fed beef from Colorado.
