Locally owned and food sourced. These gentlemen have several restaurants and they are all great! The outside seating is quiet and beautiful, when the weather is cooler (November to April). The menu is diverse. You'll find something you will love! If you sit at the bar, you can watch a game. Trader Joe's and WholeFoods are right next door.

Inexpensive, but informative. This is my favorite nearby museum. There are hundreds of prehistoric and historic archaeology sites within the City of Phoenix. They are located in the downtown area, along desert rivers and washes, and in the foothills and canyons of the mountain preserves. Archaeological sites are found under parking lots, city streets, and playing fields in city parks; they also are associated with historic buildings. Common archaeological sites include: prehistoric Hohokam culture villages, canals, and rock art
