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?
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
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
I guess it’s no big secret that a large percentage of light rail ridership in Arizona is from recreational riders. ie: People out having fun going to ball games, restaurants, concerts, arts festivals, museums and more. 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
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
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
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
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
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
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 […]
