This casual and unassuming strip-mall Japanese restaurant is our favorite sashimi spot in town. Great tempura, soba noodles and much more. this place is BYOB with no corking fee so pick up plenty of sake or Asahi's on the way. The place is very busy and does not take reservations.

This is our top recommendation for authentic Mexican food. The neighborhood isn't that exciting (although the graffiti art on the building is worth a look) but the food definitely is. This place is popular and usually requires a wait; no worries: amazing margaritas available at the tiny bar in the front of the restaurant.

Parks & Nature

This is super close to our house and a great must-do whether you like plants or not. More cactus variety than you can image & great scenic setting. If a temporary light show is being offered arrive an hour before sunset to enjoy the gardens and stay until after dark for the light Show. In the summer, go early before the heat detracts from the exploration.

This is a great, popular hike and is very close to the house. Hike Phoenix's iconic Camelback mountain and take in sweeping 360 degrees view of the Valley of the Sun. Park on Invergordon Rd near Chaparral, just north of Camelback Rd. and walk to the Cholla Trail head. The trail starts out easy for all hikers with great views form the beginning. The trail gets steeper and the views get better. Reach a beautiful saddle point after about 45-60mins. If you feel more adventurous carry on for the steepest part of the hike all the way to the top. From the summit, backtrack or take Echo Trail to descend on the opposite side of the mountain from which you can uber back to your car. Bring water and start early April to October.

Drinks & Nightlife

This is possibly the best known gay bar in town. At this sprawling country-western joint drinks are cheap and everything else is too. The very dark interior has a dance floor; the back patio welcomes smokers, beach volleyball aficionados and Mexican food you can buy from a food truck at a reach-thru hole. If you're looking for smaller crowds and a classier more sophisticated atmosphere head to Bliss-Rebar.

Tiny, super cool & completely hidden tiki bar. This small underground bar is in the basement "Sips", a jiffy-lube covered to a coffee-by-day, beer-by-night hip joint. Upstairs is fun but the magic happens underground at Undertow. Kitschy tiki decor has been perfected here: huddle around the bar in a recreated ship's hull, sipping delicious and very unusual pirate-life cocktails as you gaze at the ocean from the portholes.
