Top 10 Ethnic Restaurants Along the Mesa Light Rail

July 13, 2014 by David Crummey 2 Comments

As we celebrate the coming light rail into Mesa, I thought about all the great international restaurants along the corridor in Mesa. I tried to come up with a list of just ten great ethnic restaurants that are, or will soon be, within walking distance of a light rail station. Right now, only Sycamore is […]

Have You had An Ncounter On Mill Yet?

August 18, 2011 by Rail Life 2 Comments

Ncounter on Mill Avenue has been open just shy of two weeks and has already become a huge hit with a LOT of people. Yes, I am definitely one of those people. In fact, I have been to Ncounter the last two days in a row and can tell you that the place serves up […]

The DawgFather Grill – It’s Good To Be The King

May 28, 2011 by Rail Life Leave a Comment

So, I found another great place to eat along the line recently. If you haven’t been to The DawgFather Grill, you are missing out. While at The DawgFather, I met Chef Arty and learned about his love for what he does, his awesome culinary history and about this very cool little hotdog joint. Have you […]

Rail Life Pic Of The Week – Happy Hour Rail Life Style

One of my friends that lives along the line knows how to have fun with the best of the […]

A Horrible Death in Downtown Phoenix

December 4, 2010 by Rail Life 22 Comments

I heard the news on Twitter today, Verde Mexican Food is closing. I was bummed, surprised, frustrated and maybe a little pissed. I called my buddy Si Robbins for the scoop and was told that it was true. Apparently, they do a decent business during the day, but there really isn’t enough regular evening business […]

Vitamin Train Arrives at CityScape

December 2, 2010 by Rail Life Leave a Comment

Today is the grand opening of Vitamin T at CityScape in Phoenix. Originally scheduled to open last month, Vitamin T has arrived. Their style is authentically good grub served up with authentically good spirits. I have called Vitamin T a hole in the wall in a great location. The place is small and doesn’t have […]

Rail Life “Flickr Pic” Of The Week – Tempe Cutie’s Serving Weenies

September 26, 2010 by Rail Life 2 Comments

This past week, the ASU State Press ran a cool story about the latest addition to the Mill Avenue District. They mentioned that Cutie’s, a late night hotdog shop would be opening on Mill Avenue on Friday and giving away a bunch of Dogs for the lunch crowd. On Thursday evening, I walked by Cutie’s […]

Tons of Cool Happening in the PHX

September 1, 2010 by Rail Life Leave a Comment

From large projects to small, there seems to be a lot of cool things happening in Downtown Phoenix neighborhoods lately. Last week’s grand opening of Lucky Strike at CityScape was definitely cool; the same weekend saw the opening of Bliss and ReBar at 4th St and Garfield. Thanks to some friends, I attended the Lucky […]

Rail Life “Flickr Pic” Of The Week – Food For Thought

August 1, 2010 by Rail Life 1 Comment

This past week, I got to have lunch with my friend David who writes one of the coolest food blogs on the planet. While I am clearly not a professional photographer, ( heck, I cut his head off! ) I thought this pic would be fun to post this week, especially after reading David’s review […]

Verde Mexican Food – Fall In Love In Phoenix

May 29, 2010 by Nick Bastian 2 Comments

Verde Mexican Food in Phoenix is one of those places that is hard NOT to love. Located just a short walk from the Roosevelt light rail station and just North of ASU downtown in a wonderfully revived 1930’s building, it is an area where redevelopment makes a LOT of sense. In this case, the re-development […]
