Fuel up before your day in the Melrose District.
The Melrose District, especially the Melrose Curve along Seventh Avenue in central Phoenix, is one of the most colorful neighborhoods in the entire city. Businesses range from TV repair to music and bike shops, antique stores to salons and retro outfitters. But Melrose is also known for its dining scene thanks to quirky coffee shops and new taverns, family-owners restaurants and fry bread.

To go along with our all-day dining guide to the Melrose District, part of the Dining Guides series, here's a visual aid to dining options from early coffee to sports bars.
