Arizona Event Center has been known to host everything from music festivals to rowdy raves. The 30,000-square-foot former nightclub and big-box store has three stages, a full bar for 21-and-over types, and even a mechanical bull (a holdover from a brief stint as a country bar). Its tiny smoking area often gets a little too […]
Every one of this award-winning, all-suite resort’s 117,000 square feet is located mere minutes from Phoenix’s Sky Harbor Airport-but that’s not why it’s the state’s only AAA Four-Diamond, all-suite hotel. That would be because of its nearly endless list of amenities, including a challenging 18-hole golf course, a luxury spa and salon, an exhilarating seven-acre […]
When it was founded in 1980 the Arizona Museum for Youth was the only childrens museum in the United States dedicated specifically to fine art.

Plenty of praise has been heaped upon the beers over at Arizona Wilderness Brewing Co. (chef’s kiss to that extra-peachy Sonoran Prince), but the food at this “Arizona-inspired scratch kitchen” is top-notch as well. Wild concoctions like the peanut butter and jalapeño jelly burger and the dry-rub chicken drumsticks confit are reason alone to drop […]
The Arizona Wing Commemorative Air Force Museum is located at Falcon Field Airport in Mesa and displays a collection of aircraft from WW I through the Vietnam War. The collection includes planes such as the B-17G Flying Fortress Sentimental Journey, B-25, C-45, SNJ, F4 Phantom, Migs and other warbirds. You can even climb into the […]
There are only a few Valley outposts of New Mexican-style Mexican food, which is typically hot and spicy. If you like to feel the burn, check out the carne adobada or chile colorado, both of which give off the lingering scorch of Hatch, New Mexico chiles. Nice touch: The traditional chips and salsa opener is […]
This community art space is all about making your artistic visions into a reality. Alan Fitzgerald, in collaboration with local artists, turned an enormous dance studio in Gilbert into a 7,000 square-foot complex of gallery space, classrooms and photography labs.

This tiny, trendy cafe is all about noodles. The skinny pasta hails from Japan, China, Vietnam, Malaysia and Singapore, but don’t expect anything too exotic. This is primarily mild-mannered, health-oriented stir-fry. The udon with shrimp and chicken is a must-try.
Over the years, Mesa has become a mecca for Asian cuisine in a variety of forms — everything from hot pot spots to classic Chinese eateries. Asian Café Express falls in the latter category. Its decor is all strip-mall Chinese restaurant, while the kitchen turns out next-level Hong Kong-style cuisine. This no-frills, award-winning east Valley […]
