Margaritaville

By Benjamin LeathermanApril 30, 2009
God bless the souls of Don Cenobio Sauza and José María Guadalupe Cuervo. Why? Because they're the crafty cats who first imported the spirituous concoction known as Tequila to the U.S. from Mexico in the 1870s. Thus, they gave our country one of its favorite mind-erasers. So be sure to...

Martha+Mary Throws Street Party for ASU Art Museum

By Kathleen VanesianApril 5, 2009
Hot dogs, cold beer, hot tunes and cool art - I can't think of a better way to drift through a mellow April afternoon than eating grilled pups, chewing the fat with AZ artists and raising money for a future exhibition already in the works at ASU Art Museum. Martha...

The Green Party

By Benjamin LeathermanMarch 12, 2009
There's a particular word in Irish slang that perfectly sums up the spirit behind St. Patrick's Day: craic. Pronounced "crack," it usually signifies that boisterous good times are afoot, thanks to a merry mix of alcohol, music, and maybe even some debauchery. So it goes without saying that the craic...

Kelly Reichardt’s Wendy and Lucy is Modest but Cosmic

By J. HobermanFebruary 26, 2009
Sometimes, less really is more. Modest but cosmic, Kelly Reichardt's Wendy and Lucy is a movie whose sad pixie heroine, Wendy (Michelle Williams), already skating on thin ice, stumbles and, without a single support to brace herself, slides into America's lower depths. Introduced calling for her dog, Lucy, Wendy loses...

Suburban Renewal

By Wynter HoldenDecember 11, 2008
The holiday season is here, and with it comes the one thing we dread most. No, not packed shopping malls, annoyingly chipper holiday songs, or umpteen-gazillion reruns of A Christmas Story. We’re talking about arts and crafts fairs. Think cinnamon-spiced potpourri sachets. Reindeer sweatshirts. Crocheted doily angels. Well, forget the...

Brew Review: Rogue’s Juniper Pale Ale

By Jonathan McNamaraNovember 6, 2008
By Jonathan McNamara There is one election day ritual that I’ve missed out on twice now thanks to my decision to be a member of the press instead of the sit at home and watch our country’s fate on CNN crowd: the post-election beer. So when I found myself with...

All About Eve

By Benjamin LeathermanDecember 25, 2008
Is it over yet? Can we look? Don't know about y'all, but we're more than ready to put the titanic clusterfuck that was 2008 behind us. Frankly, we're hoping to forget the past 365-odd days (with the exception of November 4, natch) and welcome 2009 with open arms and more...

Bloomin’ Beerfest 2008

By Jonathan McNamaraJune 9, 2008
By Andrea Custer It sounded like a crowded Irish pub at the Irish Cultural Center in downtown Phoenix; a sound that would make James Joyce, or at least his fans, quite proud. The Great Hall was packed with brewers and beer enthusiasts for the 2nd Annual Bloomin’ Beerfest on Saturday...

Fright Nights

By Benjamin LeathermanOctober 30, 2008
Life's been pretty damn scary lately. Between the double-fisted drama of the über-contentious race for the White House and the roller coaster stock market, we've been hoping this is all just some titanically bad nightmare everyone's gonna wake up from. Needless to say, some letting loose is most definitely in...

Look, it’s a new indie bistro on the West Side

By Michele LaudigFebruary 27, 2008
If you're gonna strike a pose, it'll more likely be in Scottsdale, not Surprise. But hey, Scottsdale can't have all the style. Vogue Bistro and Bar, a new chef-owned eatery that debuts soon, will give West Siders a new dining destination. Chef-owner Aurore de Beauduy, the former executive chef at...

By Michele LaudigMarch 3, 2008
If you've through downtown Tempe in the past several months, you've likely noticed the street-level storefront a couple doors over from Borders in the Brickhouse on Mill, where papered-over windows promised a new pizzeria "coming soon." The sign seemed to be hanging there forever. But how soon is now? Uh,...
