Phoenix

Including Arizona Restaurant Week, Dog Days at the Garden, and Indie Week XXL.

Show some love, Phoenix.

All social distancing approved.

This year has certainly posed its challenges, but amid the uncertainty there are bright spots.

Arizona has officially closed restaurant dining rooms statewide in an effort to stop the spread of the COVID-19 virus, so restaurants are transitioning to takeout and delivery in an effort to keep their businesses afloat.

If brunch isn’t your favorite meal, I behoove you to rethink your dining experiences.

If you’re a vegetarian or vegan, you know the plant-based dining scene has come a long way in Phoenix.

Just because Arizona is a border state doesn’t mean it’s easy to find delicious Mexican food.

Here in Phoenix we have an incomparable affection for spirits, suds, local watering holes, honky-tonks, speakeasies, cocktail bars, breweries, and wine cafes.

Sure, you could absolutely visit one of these cold-weather destinations this winter.

The holiday season is upon us, and in Phoenix that means it’s a crisp 80 degrees, the palm trees are illuminated by white lights, and shopping malls are as crowded as, well, shopping malls.

Everyone knows there’s no other meal quite like pizza -- it’s universally loved, shareable, and infinitely customizable.
