When you can tear yourself away from ice-cold drinks served in your private poolside cabana, check out a host of other wonderful things to see and do. From hitting the links at any one of its world-class golf courses to drinking in the scenic beauty of the Sonoran desert, Phoenix and the surrounding areas are the perfect place for the outdoor enthusiast. If fine dining is more your taste, treat yourself to a menu of global cuisine that will leave you hungry for more. Or for a real night on the town, take in an exciting show or concert, or take a leisurely stroll through one of the area’s arts districts.

In this issue of You Are Here, discover the amazing variety of things to do right in our own Surprise backyard.

Shopping

Fashion Is Fun Fall is open season Smeeks

Urban Reality

It’s no urban legend that the hub of what is hot in retail is at the corner of Camelback Road and Central Avenue. Scoot to the west just a bit and see the urban strip mall, Medlock Plaza.

Frances Are Touted as a modern boutique with vintage charm, Frances carries men’s, women’s and baby’s apparel, gift items, paper goods and so much more.

10 W. Camelback Rd., Phoenix 602-279-5467 francesvintage.com

Fall is just the beginning of the shopping season for most. Metropolitan Phoenix has become one of the world’s best destinations to find everything, from the unique designs of cultures and craftsmen around the world to local artisans’ creations. Whether you hit a mall or stroll throughout Old Town Scottsdale, the options are plenty. Some of the best shops known around the world can be found at either Biltmore Fashion Park or Scottsdale Fashion Square. For a more “down to earth” shopping experience, Downtown Phoenix is becoming a shopping hub for the urban scene, with vintage shops, haute couture boutiques and eclectic furniture stores and art houses. The suburbs are becoming as urban as the center of town, with SanTan Village in Gilbert, Chandler Fashion Center and downtown Mesa. Historic Glendale has always been the antique hot spot and comes into its own during the fall as its shops prepare for some of the biggest holiday events in the area. Glendale Glitters and other fun happenings come alive in the historic streets of Glendale. Stores open late to satisfy the shopper in you.

A World A-park Among the most unique boutiques in America, Cornelia Park at Biltmore Fashion Park is not to be missed. An extensive inventory of MacKenzie-Childs Home Collection — one of the most exclusive lines of handcrafted pottery, tableware, glass, furniture and furnishings — is what makes this quaint boutique such a find. Fabrics and a staff that can work any piece into your own décor makes a visit special whether you’re looking for a set of dishes or a new look for your entire home.

Sure they’re similar city to city, but many Valley malls are unique enough that you’ll enjoy more than just the offerings.

The Great Outdoors A time to play and recreate Coyotes Ice Den

Ready for the Cold

The official training center for the Phoenix Coyotes, the Ice Den is also the official frigid fun zone for kids of all ages. This ice skating rink and indoor soccer turf field is sports central with pro and amateur skating and hockey lessons, events, birthday parties and more.

9375 E. Bell Rd., Scottsdale 480-585-7465 coyotesice.com

Go, Go Karting

Drive like a pro at the K1 Speed racetrack in Phoenix. The electric karts are a high-speed way to race friends, family members or that corporate buddy, and you get a Results Sheet that ranks your time against those you raced and all who have raced prior. See where you stand.

There are plenty of ways to stay active and keep cool in the

Valley, even when the temps are still in the triple digits. BounceU in Gilbert offers bounce-house fun for kids inside giant, air-conditioned rooms. They can run, jump, slide and tackle inflatable obstacle courses. Sign yourself and the kids up for hockey clinics or ice skating lessons at the Coyotes Ice Den, the official training center for the Phoenix Coyotes which was also voted one of the Top 10 Rinks in the nation by USA Today. The Phoenix Rock Gym, home to the largest indoor rock climbing space in Arizona, is where you can tackle 30-foot climbing walls. And if you’re looking for outdoor fun, the Valley offers plenty of that, too! Grab the pooch and explore Cosmo Dog Park, with its sweeps of green, fenced-off areas and even a small lake where Fido can cool off and practice his swimming skills. Enjoy the train rides and railroad museum at McCormick-Stillman Railroad Park, and, if you want a little more action, try Westworld Paintball Adventures, where you and your friends can battle it out at Splatter Ranch amid more than 20 acres of the Sonoran desert.

Quick Tips

All for Orange October is mostly preseason for the Phoenix Suns, with the season opener on Oct. 31 vs. Golden State at US Airways Center.

Watch this year’s hopefuls, including team strengths Luis Scola, Marcin Gortat and Goran Dragic. The loss of Steve Nash and Grant Hill will be on everyone’s minds as this year’s roster comes together and fans start to name their true heroes and seek a leader for this team.

It’s no secret

the Valley is known for its lush, green golf courses.

After all, with practically year-round sunshine, the weather is perfect for play. Not to mention championship courses that draw professional golf players from around the country are enough to lure any golf aficionado.

Tee up at one of the Valley’s resort golf courses, where you can enjoy challenging play and access resort amenities. At The Boulders, you’ll play among the backdrop of the breathtaking desert landscape and on two championship-level Jay Morrish-designed courses. It has been consecutively ranked one of the best courses in the country for more than 10 years by Golf Magazine and Travel & Leisure. For a links-style course with desert hazards, try the greens at Arizona Grand Resort. Or try one of the family golf programs at The Westin Kierland Golf Club, where instructors are PGA- and LGA-certified professionals.

Wine & Dine

The Valley is known

for having nurtured and established many chefs and restaurateurs who have made it on the national and international stage. From classics that have been around for as many as 60 years to the latest concept popping up all over the Valley, Phoenix and its surrounding communities are a cornucopia of memorable flavors, eclectic concepts and ethnic-influenced culinary creations. The new Brat Haus in Scottsdale is home to artisan sausage, with craft beers and Belgian fries. Sam Fox sees Phoenix as a virtual Petri dish of concepts tested to move onto the national stage. From his Culinary Dropout “gastro-pub” foods to the ultrahealthy True Food and a reinvention of North, Fox has dazzled the local restaurant scene. Restaurant reinventions from classic chefs Eddie Matney (Eddie’s House) and Christopher Gross (Crush) are constantly revitalizing us as the place for food. Master chefs come here and are created here because of our diverse tastes and interest in the finest cuisine. Is this why every major restaurant chain in America comes to the Valley?

Bark Like a Dog At the newest restaurant to hit Downtown Phoenix, eating light and “socially” is how the menu was developed for lunch, dinner or late night at Blue Hound Kitchen & Cocktails. Offering plenty of appetizers served for the table (or smaller for individuals), it is located at CityScape at the Palomar Hotel. The food is contemporary bistro mixed with American classic dishes served creatively for flavor. The bar is a experience itself, with mixologists who can concoct any libation imaginable, or patrons can choose from the menu of refreshing combinations.

From swanky lounges

and rooftop clubs to your Arizonaclassic cowboy bars, there’s entertainment and fun for everyone in the Valley’s nightlife scene. And the best part is, no matter where you choose to play, you’ll find plenty of variety right within walking distance! Wine lovers, soak up the intimate speakeasy vibe at Kazimierz World Wine Bar, which resembles a wine cellar complete with stone walls, dark corners, cozy couches and a list of more than 2,000 wines. If you prefer live music you can sing along to, don’t miss Geisha A Go Go, just a short walk away. This Japanese lounge draws a regular bar crowd on weekends and private parties in the Karaoke rooms.

W Scottsdale’s Shade Bar rooftop lounge and the posh Glendale restaurant SKYE are hotspots for local trendsetters and hip visitors alike. You’ll want to plan ahead as lines start around 10:30. Cadillac Ranch in Tempe attracts both a college and older crowd ready to battle its mechanical bull. And party-goers can play poolside day or night at Spanish Fly Mexican Beach Club, where pool party meets nightlife and you can spend your days or evenings sipping Mai Tais in plush, white cabanas.
