La Grande Orange is home to the best (IMO) breakfast sandwich, the Commuter! LGO has great casual breakfast and lunch options and doubles as a cute little market to shop in. Their iced green tea with an orange slice is one of Allison's absolute favorite drinks!
Hike Camelback Mountain! It is a strenuous 3 mile round trip up and back hike with an amazing view of the greater Phoenix area at the top. Choose from two trailheads: Echo is more vertical and rock climbing esc and Cholla is a flatter, more round-about option.
Old Town Scottsdale is a great place to walk around, get a bite to eat and/or a drink! Among our favorite places to go in Old Town are the Goldwater Brewing Company (they have a Desert Rose beer we love!), Frank and Lupe's for some good Mexican and Oregano's (a staple AZ pizza place, must try the pazookie for dessert!).
Enjoy one of Matt's favorite AZ pastimes playing a round of golf. There is a par-3 short course at Mountain Shadows that is great for all levels!
This bar is located in the Camelback Inn hotel. You can sit outside and enjoy an amazing view of Camelback Mountain while you sip a trendy cocktail!
The Mission is a famous, delicious taco place. Must try the guacamole and Prickly Pear margarita! Reservations would be required.
The Henry is home to the Fox Restaurant Concepts offices. Allison interned here during college so it is a special place. It is also where we will be having an intimate rehearsal dinner Friday! You can swing by for a coffee or tea and pastry from their little coffee bar, enjoy a sit down delicious brunch or have a great dinner!
Doughbird is a local pizza/chicken restaurant, where you can get an amazing pizza and also a rotisserie chicken! It is owned by Fox Restaurant Concepts and if you are ever looking for a restaurant in Phoenix, any of their restaurants we would recommend!
Pomo is a delicious Italian pizza place! It also has a gelato shop on one side we highly recommend visiting after dinner! We are suckers for a good espresso martini night cap and they have a great one :)
