Hanny’s

For fresh, locally sourced fare, head to Downtown Phoenix Public Market, where you can pick up meat, produce and other food items in an open-air setting on Wednesdays and Saturdays. For grub to go, the Urban Grocery & Wine Bar is open Tuesday through Saturday and has ready-made sandwiches and breakfast foods as well as grocery items.

This hip eatery was formerly a threestory department store dating back to the 1940s. The restoration kept some of the original fixtures, including the elevator shaft, which now has a glass bottom that guests can look through. Of course, the menu is equally interesting, featuring contemporary American classics and a martini bar that’s deadly.
