That is assuming that you’re not interested in child-friendly toys like My Little Pony (though they have that, too) and are interested in life-like action figures of American soldiers or a bound, blindfolded and buxom S&M […]

For a taste of handmade-with-love tamales, a trip to Molly’s Tamales in Glendale is in order. The small corner shop features an unthinkable […]

There’s everything from Olive Garden and On the Border to Fuddrucker’s and Rock Bottom Brewery. Hidden in the mix – behind the Hooters – is The Moon Saloon, a sports bar that serves more than cheap beer. […]
Located in a slim strip mall in the northwest Valley, Neighbors opened in 1992 and hasn’t changed a whole hell of a lot since. (You can spot the place by the massive illustration on the front windows of a lively bar crowd, which also dates back to the 1990s.) Neighbors is a come-as-you-are type of […]

Excellent thin-crust pizza (try the NYPD Blue, heaped with ricotta, eggplant and roasted peppers) and one of the town’s best calzones. If you can handle dessert after a few oversized slices, […]
