Food Scene

Tricky for newcomers to find, but unforgettable once they do. This haute design restaurant and bar oozes ambiance and style. It serves the best martinis in town! The transportive, nouveau-chic, hot spot has blazed a trail since 1988, offering modern minimalists and artful epicureans a fantastic alternative to common rustic, Southwest fare. For the best view and vibe, pull up an iconic Panton Chair on the patio and take-in the view of Scottsdale Civic Center courtyard and Scottsdale Museum for Contemporary Art – a fitting setting for a contemporary restaurant with a progressively-minded menu and attitude. Trés chic! Park in the structure next to Los Olivos, then ask a local for directions.

A bold, straightforward American Grill that gives the feel of upscale dining without the starched white table linens, rigid service and strict dress code. Best fresh ground chuck cheeseburger in the Southwest! Seamless service, impeccable performance and food handling standards! Take it from someone who worked there for almost 10 years! ;)

Good breakfast. Good lunch. This place always has a wait. It's a very small space so arrive early ahead of the wait. Ask for the patio. Try the egg white and turkey sausage omelette. It can get loud like most restaurants in town.

Mexican-Asian fusion. Try Charred Edamame with miso butter or a wacky guacamole for starters. Try Vietnamese Style Shaking Beef or Strawberry Gazpacho if you're feeling adventurous. The restaurant's orange and pink decor surround a huge (faux) oak tree. The bar has four jinormous TVs. The cuisine is fusion; so are the business travelers, sports nuts, families and party-goers who comprise the guests. Con: Pretty darn noisy most of the time!

Pizza at a Sushi joint? Yep! Try SB's Sushi Pizza! It's unlike anything you've had. The Damn Good roll is damn good too with shrimp tempura, cream cheese, avocado and chipotle sauce. Try the Cowgirl roll (giddy up, she's spicy!) and the Vegas roll. Reasonably priced especially during happy hour (4-6:30pm) and reverse happy hour (1 to 2 hours before closing). This hot spot and it's other location in North Scottsdale can get a little loud.

Long Islanders know the name. An open-air East Hampton-styled restaurant and bar perched on the corner of one of Old Town's trendy, touristy intersections.

Good for brunch. Dog-friendly. Great Bloody Marys with bacon. A refreshing East Coast vibe in the middle of the scorching desert.

This place isn't too loud which I love. So often breakfast restaurants are impossible to hold a conversation in. FW has a unique interpretation of traditional American breakfast dishes and serves them with healthy flair. Fresh, unique, original, like, "Wow, I've never had an omelette quite like that before!" They offer flavored creamer for coffee, too! That's an absolute MUST for this coffee lover who prefers more creamer than coffee ;)

Attention weekend warriors: This is all you! Beware, however, countless others have been air-evac'd of the side of the hill and end up on the 10 o'clock local news. Let's hope that's not you! Wear a hat, spray on the sunscreen, lace up your hiking boots (not tennis shoes) and drink and bring plenty water! Dont' forget your camera-phone 'cause you'll want to snap a picture (and tweet and post) from Camelback's 2,700 ft. summit if you make it. To get there take Cholla or Echo Canyon Trail about a mile or two from southwest Old Town. Good luck! God Bless!

A huge outdoor mall and theatre down the street from ASU campus.
This is one of the few zoos where you truly get close to the animals. Visit EARLY in the morning and early or late in the year when the animals are out and about, not hiding inside in the shade. Small enclosures, close proximity. It's small enough to be walkable, and big enough to give you the wildlife park/zoo experience.
