Things To Do
Caruso's
This is the first date that Nick took Summer on in Tucson. It's a quaint Italian eatery known for its 4th-generation owners & unlimited garlic bread.
Frank's Restaurant
Nick and Summer went out to breakfast at Franks many many many times throughout college. This diner has the best homestyle breakfast and the most okay coffee you'll find in Tucson. Everyone that works there is very kind and makes you feel like family.
Hotel Congress
This is where it all began, the infamous dance floor where Nick and Summer met. If you're looking for a lively place downtown to get drinks and dance all night, definitely check out Hotel Congress.
Guadalajara Original Grill
If you're looking for some spectacular Mexican food while you're in town and want to find a place that takes reservations, go to Guad's! They have table side guacamole made to order, delicious margaritas, and nightly mariachi music. They also have plenty of vegetarian/vegan options as well.
Saguaro National Park
Saguaro National Park is in southern Arizona. Its 2 sections are on either side of the city of Tucson. The park is named for the large saguaro cactus, native to its desert environment. In the western Tucson Mountain District, Signal Hill Trail leads to petroglyphs of the ancient Hohokam people. In the eastern Rincon Mountain District, Cactus Forest Drive is a loop road with striking views of the desert landscape.
