It’s no surprise, given the bar’s lofty view (which is particularly nice at sunset) and the establishment’s longstanding dedication to handcrafted beer. […]
The name Graffiti Shop isn’t just a cool-sounding moniker at this Tempe smoke shop. It’s an open invitation to leave your mark on the walls and floor of the shop in marker or spray paint or whatever medium you’d like. Owner Lawrence Owenby – he’ll probably tell you he goes by “Larry” – has been […]

Some items at Green have almost universal appeal: The flatbread pizzas are tasty, as are the butterless, eggless chocolate chip cookies. But the meatball sammy and “Green” burger will only please those who’ve forgotten what beef tastes like. Basically, this is fast-food vegan, and fills a niche that needs to be filled, to judge by […]

“Home cooking” of standard items and combinations is waiting for you, plus the harder-to-find menudo, gorditas and fruit chimichangas with fresh apples. There are only a few tables inside and outside this tiny stucco building, so order to go.
This pizza joint is an ASU tradition-and not just because they’re open 24 hours a day and deliver to the dorms there. It’s also because they serve hot, puffy Garlic Knots, warm gooey dough with a garlicky dipping sauce that’s as addicting as, well, the terrific pizza here. Pile a cheesy pie with as many […]
This friendly neighborhood ramen shop offers four basic bowls – tonkotsu, shoyu, miso, and a house bowl called the Hachi Special – along with delicious sides like homemade karaage chicken, which is beautifully battered, juicy, and tender. Hachi Ramen also delivers a highly flavorful miso broth, which beautifully complements the kitchen’s wonderfully melty slices of […]

A classic neighborhood gathering spot for almost 30 years, and one taste of the creamed chipped beef on toast, eggs Benedict, or huevos rancheros will tell you why. Lunch is well-crafted comfort food, too, like Reubens, French dip, hot open-faced roast beef sandwiches, and chicken-fried steak.
