Phoenix AZ suggestions
I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions for places to eat or check out in Phoenix, AZ? I am traveling there for a conference this Sunday and I will be there til Friday night (no bike). I will be at the JW Marriott Desert Ridge Resort & Spa. I appreciate your help. Thanks,
Rick

ooh, what kinds of food do you like?
Cyclo has great Vietnamese food (Zaggat rated) and is cheap.. However it is tiny and doesn't accept reservations so expect to wait about an hour for a seat.
Sakana's Sushi and Grill is great for sushi and has 3 locations across the valley. There are several other good sushi places as well.
The Blue Nile or Cafe Lalibella for Ethiopian food.
There are lots of good Indian food places.
The Salt Cellar is great seafood and a kewl funky building (99% underground).
Farrelli's is good food and a movie together for the price of them separately.
The Monastery locations are fun if you want to grill your own food at a bar (neat idea, but more fun with a group).
Morton's or Ruth Chris for high end steak. etc etc
What kind of entertainment do you like? Really we are a very large city with just about everything available.

It's seriously hot there. When outside wear light clothes, sun block, a hat, and drink water. Leave the windows cracked on parked cars. Watch the scalding hot chrome handles (seat belts) in and out of the car. Run the A/C on "fresh" with a rear window cracked initially to force the super-heated air out of the car. After a few minutes switch to "recirc" or "max" and put the windows up. Park in the shade.
Mill Ave in Tempe off Hwy 60 is an entertaining, low key evening. Kind of a small town feel with shops and dining. Rula Bula (Irish), Gordon Biersch (German), etc.
