Support the independent voice of Phoenix and help keep the future of New Times free.
The clouds are still on the horizon, but it feels like a monsoon of restaurant closures is suddenly raining down on the Valley.
In Scottsdale, Pink Pony (Old Town's baseball memorabilia-laden institution) and Quilted Bear (the old-school American eatery founded by the late restaurateur Dale Anderson) have closed, as have Mesa's Pizza Fusion (which was sadly burglarized after a fundraising event held in conjunction with its January grand opening) and EJ's Steakhouse, reports The Tribune.
I've also gotten word that Ahwatukee's Tanked Fish Sushi Bar and its next door neighbor Madi G's Neighborhood Grill have recently closed their doors, along with Glendale's Sweet O Wine & Chocolate Lounge.
Keep Phoenix New Times Free... Since we started Phoenix New Times, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Phoenix, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Phoenix with no paywalls.
