creating an identity in central phoenix GETTING HERE
Appropriately named, Central Phoenix is within 15 miles of most surrounding Valley cities and is roughly bounded by Glendale Avenue (north), Buchanan Street (south), 15th Avenue (west) and 16th Street (east). South of the I-10 is designated as Downtown, while north is called Uptown.
By Car
Follow the 51, 1-17 or 202 freeways to the I-10 and take the Seventh Street or Seventh Avenue exits to begin in Downtown.Thanks to an easy-to-navigate grid system, side streets can be used to reach the length and width of the central corridor.To start in Uptown, take the 51 to the Glendale Avenue exit.

By Bicycle
While we wouldn’t recommend long-distance treks in the dead of summer, Central Phoenix can be reached on bicycle via the Grand Canal, which runs from 75th Avenue and Camelback to Papago Park.View a map at srpnet.com.
By Bus
Valley Metro serves the entire Phoenix area with a central bus station at First Avenue and Van Buren. For routes and schedules, visit valleymetro.org.
While the rest of the Valley is content in its infinite suburban sprawl, Central Phoenix is building smart rather than building out. With architecturally significant re-use structures being snatched up by boutiques, restaurants and nightlife destinations, the city’s urban core has a look and feel all its own. This is your guide to discovering the real Phoenix. Those familiar with Central Phoenix’s facade can pinpoint dozens of buildings that have been rehabilitated in the past few months. Rundown warehouses have become chic storefronts, historic homes restored to restaurants and brick shells turned into design firms. Nowhere else in the Valley can such a responsible resurgence be seen.Yet unless you’re intimately acquainted with the area, it’s hard to know where and how to look. See, Phoenix isn’t your typical metropolis. There is a centralized skyline and a seven-figure population, but—unlike San Francisco or Chicago—you’ll never find the city’s gems just by walking around. That’s what makes Central Phoenix +PIRHEPI so distinct: it’s an insider’s paradise. 4EVEHMWI :EPPI] Whether in town on vacation or discovering the central corridor from 7GSXXWHEPI 'IRXVEP 4LSIRM\ the ’burbs, be sure to investigate the city’s nooks and crannies—it’s 8IQTI where all the best recently restored buildings hide.

This just-off-Central boutique hotel is the only modern accommodations in Midtown. Stylish bedroom furniture, flat-screen televisions, L ‘Occitane bath amenities and comfy king-sized beds embody the rooms, while a recently renovated pool area dubbed The Oasis and new sushi joint, C4, make this a hot spot with or without an overnight stay.
Smack-dab in Phoenix’s financial district, the Hilton Suites attracts mostly traveling business clients and conventioneers. Centered around a bottom-floor atrium, guestrooms are simple yet elegant with skyline views of the surrounding city.About the halfway point between Downtown and Uptown, this hotel is a good starting point in CenPho.
Rumored to be a favorite of 1920s Hollywood playboys like Clark Gable and Spencer Tracy, this historic hotel in downtown retains its Park Avenue je ne sais quoi. Lounge eye-level with surrounding high-rises at the rooftop pool, dine downstairs at the Copper Door Steakhouse or search for ghosts in the hallways—the hotel is said to be haunted.

Phoenix’s only youth hostel is hidden (quite literally) just blocks from Roosevelt Row and the indie arts district. International backpackers fill the bunks in this treeshaded house in the Garfield District, which features a full kitchen and $.75 laundry services. At just $18 to $25 for dorm rooms, this is the Valley’s most affordable accommodations.
It’s hard to miss the unusual circular top of the downtown Hyatt, home to the revolving fine dining restaurant, Compass Room. Below are 712 guestrooms that fill up fast for sporting events, conventions and— most recently—the Super Bowl. World-class concierge service and a full office center make this a business traveler’s favorite.
Situated just steps away from Phoenix’s cultural attractions—Symphony Hall, Orpheum Theatre and the Herberger—as well as sporting venues and the Arizona Center, the Wyndham is downtown’s most centralized lodging. Recently remodeled, the hotel’s interior is contemporary and chic, a nod to Phoenix’s growing big-city vibe.

However much of the area’s cultural character comes from the small, lesser-known playhouses, art galleries and concert clubs. To experience this underground movement firsthand, check out the First Fridays artwalk, a nighttime showing of emerging contemporary work with an affordable price tag. During this monthly event on (you guessed it) Friday, even bartenders, baristas and hair stylists become curators by showcasing local artwork on their business’ walls. To sample the local music scene (and bands such as Peachcake and Andrew Jackson Jihad), stop by The Trunk Space on Grand Avenue or Modified Arts on Roosevelt Street nearly any night of the week. And while you’re down there, do check out the critics’ picks: touring exhibits at the Arizona Science Center; performances by the Arizona Opera, Ballet Arizona,Valley Youth Theatre and the Phoenix Symphony; and world-class art shows at the Phoenix Art and Heard Museums. They are worthy of all that national recognition. 1 515 ARTS

It’s not that Central Phoenicians don’t love a live Cardinals or Coyotes game. It’s just that getting to Glendale and back seems to take forever. Plus, why travel all that way when Arizona’s other top-performing teams are just around the corner? This spring, the Arizona Diamondbacks return to the mound after an impressive playoff run last season (and a World Series title in 2001, thank you very much) with Randy “Big Unit” Johnson. And let’s not forget the Phoenix Suns, the Western Division’s number-one team at press time. Steve Nash, Amaré Stoudemire and new joiner Grant Hill are making a run for the NBA’s highest honor. If you’re jonesing for football and hockey—and won’t weather the trek out west—the Phoenix Roadrunners IHL hockey teams’ regular season runs through April and the Arizona Rattlers arena football team starts play in March—both at US Airways Center. With two sporting complexes in Copper Square, well within walking distance of the area’s other attractions, there’s never a shortage of games that beckon fans to the sidelines.
The Phoenix Country Club—home to the original Phoenix Open until 1986—is CenPho’s only 18-hole course. But don’t book a tee time just yet; this Lehmandesigned beauty is not open to the public.

Take advantage of flat-rate parking and pair a weekend D-backs game with shopping, imbibing and chowing down on local flavor. dbacks.com
Baseball and commerce have always been America’s favorite pastimes. This season, the Arizona Diamondbacks are encouraging a day of both in Downtown Phoenix; weekend games will begin an hour earlier so attendants can shop beforehand and grab dinner and a cocktail after. Healthy for the economy and fun! Event Parking With more than 30,000 parking spaces surrounding the downtown destinations, there’s no need to get frustrated—you’ll eventually find a space. Some obvious tips include: arrive early, know that you’ll spend upwards of $10 (even in the discount lots) and expect to walk. Here’s a cheat sheet for parallel-parking-free spots.

You Are Here // FEB-APR 08
Except in Central Phoenix, where passionate proprietors at shops like Retro Redux and Frances Vintage personally stock the shelves—and not just from the latest trends found in L.A. and New York. A growing number of businesses are searching for talented seamstresses, candle makers and jewelry designers right here in town. The majority of Made Art Boutique’s inventory is homegrown, and 100% of the Downtown Phoenix Public Market’s goods are manufactured locally (and sold for a steal). Of course there are still plenty of CenPho boutiques that carry the latest fashions; they’re just more discerning in their brands than the big-boxes. Scour the racks at a crop of women’s clothing shops that have recently popped up, including Bunky Boutique, Gold Lion, Spoken and Rowdy Boutique. From hard-to-find vinyl to vintage furniture finds to gifts, toys and apothecary, there’s much more to Arizona shopping than scorpion paperweights. 1 Atmosphere Salon

Out & About
a spattering of happenings
Ah, spring. The season (one of many) we get to rub into our Wisconsin cousin’s faces. Here is just a sampling of mixed-bag events through April.
Now-Apr. 13 Phoenix Art Museum phxart.org If Annie Leibovitz is this generation’s go-to portraitist, then Richard Avedon owned the era before. Catch a rare glimpse of Avedon’s work, which spanned from early-20th-century fashion photography to revealing celebrity portraits.
Four-Course Beer Tasting Dinner Feb. 7 Coach & Willie’s coachandwillies.com

You Are Here // FEB-APR 08
Beer gets shafted on the cred scale. It doesn’t have its own “region” nor gets paired with pasta—except at Coach & Willie’s bi-monthly beer tasting dinner. For $40 per person, handcrafted and popular beers are served in four courses with C&W fare.
VNSA Book Sale Feb. 9-10 Arizona State Fairgrounds vnsabooksale.org The Volunteer Nonprofit Service Association’s book fair is like a huge Border’s sale—if they discounted pricing 200 percent and gave proceeds to charity. From self-help to sci-fi, all books are locally donated and benefit area nonprofits.
Willo Home Tour Feb. 10 Willo Historic District willohistoricdistrict.com For six hours a year, one of Phoenix’s most significant historic neighborhoods takes down the “Beware of Dog” signs. Fourteen restored 1920s-1940s Spanish, Bungalow and Tudor homes are open to the public for a mere $15.

FLIP THE LIGHTS
View juried short films from around the globe, including Italy, Turkey and the Netherlands, at the Short Film Festival, held Feb. 13-14 at the AMC Arizona Center Theatres. thea3f.net
Unlike some film festivals—where choosing between flicks is half the battle—the Almost Famous International Short Film Festival squishes four documentaries, five world premiers and 23 official selections (out of 70 that entered) into two nights. From only 5-10 p.m. Without overlapping. (Sigh of relief).
for Phoenix’s Sister Cities program. Kids can learn to rope a steer while the big kids can booze it up at the World of Beers garden.
Heard Museum Guild Indian Fair & Market
Don quixote, feb. 15 - 17
Don Quixote
Don quixote photo by Kent Miles/art detour by natasha ryan
Feb. 15-17 Symphony Hall balletaz.org The most influential character to rise from the Spanish Golden Age, Don Quixote is resurrected in Ballet Arizona’s version of the classic novel. Adventure, love and antics from sidekick Sancho Panza ensue.
Jill Scott Feb. 16 Dodge Theatre dodgetheatre.com Poet-turned-R&B songstress Jill Scott is touring to promote The Real Thing, her latest album that pairs smooth, sultry lyrics with an equally velvety voice. The only thing better than The Real Thing is the real thing, live.
Matsuri – A Festival of Japan Feb. 23-24 Heritage Square azmatsuri.org What started as a high-stakes koi auction (no seriously, k-o-i) has transformed into one of Phoenix’s most colorful festivals. Celebrate traditional Japanese culture with events such as candy sculpting, lion dancers and a kimono fashion show.

Fridays gallery walk does, with the two-day Art Detour event. Galleries open their doors from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sat.-Sun. with a street fair and juried art exhibition.
Silent Sundays
Mar. 1-2 Heard Museum heard.org
Mar. 9 Orpheum Theatre silentsundays.info
Number of American Indian artists in attendance: 670. Number of years the Heard Museum has hosted the largest gathering of sculptors, potters and weavers: 50. Number of visitors: 18,000. Finding the perfect kachina doll: priceless.
Sometimes it’s not about 50-screen theatres and $12 vats of popcorn (extra butter). At the Orpheum Theatre’s Silent Sundays series, it’s actually about the movie. On Mar. 9, screen the very first Academy Award winner for “Best Picture,” Wings

BON APPETIT
Sample bite-sized specialties from local executive and pastry chefs at the West of Western Culinary Festival, Mar. 15-16 at the Phoenix Art Museum. westofwestern.com
The West of Western Culinary Festival’s goal has always been to present the dining experience as an art form. Of course it helps that this year’s venue is the actual Phoenix Art Museum. More than 50 of Arizona’s top chefs and 70 wines will join Monet and Matisse (on the walls) for a weekend of culinary fine art.
Piano Men: Music of Elton John & Billy Joel Mar. 28-30 Symphony Hall phoenixsymphony.org
Apr. 12-13 Heritage Square phoenixpride.org Almost 50 years after the initial stance against discrimination in NYC, the Phoenix Pride Festival celebrates the GLBT movement with a 5K run, a parade and a weekend packed with performers. Break out those boas!
Diamondbacks Opening Day Apr. 7 Chase Field dbacks.com Spring training may be one of Arizona’s claims to fame, but as Joe DiMaggio once said: “You always get a special kick on opening day, no matter how many you go through.” Help jump-start the D-Backs season against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Margaret Cho, april 18
La Traviata
Margaret Cho
Apr. 17-20 Symphony Hall azopera.com
Apr. 18 Dodge Theatre livenation.com
A modern-day “Romeo & Juliet”—if it were 1853—this tragic story of love and family dysfunction by bygone composer Giuseppe Verdi proves love stinks even when sung in Italian soprano (with English surtitles).
The Notorious C.H.O. returns to her stand-up roots with a new one-woman show, “Beautiful,” which balances laughter with real-world advice about friendship, love and self-image. And bathroom humor, too.

La Traviata photo by Kent Miles/Margaret Cho photo by Austin Young.
From “Your Song” to “Candle in the Wind,” pianist Jim Witter covers the greatest hits of Billy Joel and Elton John. Headlines, photos and commercials projected above the orchestra bring to life a decade in which their songs dominated the airwaves.

You Are Here // FEB-APR 08
Yet most notable Phoenix eateries are owned and operated by the same names that mold the menus and prepare the daily specials. None have Gordon Ramsay egos, steep reservation policies or required pieces of flair; what they do have are authentic dishes served up with a side of love. Chris Bianco hand tosses every crispy crust at Pizzeria Bianco, Matt Pool slings smoked bacon on the grill at Matt’s Big Breakfast and Silvana Salcido Esperza personally stuffs poblano peppers at Barrio Café. It’s this attention to detail that justifies standing in line during peak dining times—sometime for hours (we’re looking at you Pizzeria Bianco)—for a seat at one of their tiny tables. However long the wait, small capacities make each restaurant unique: custom-designed furniture, organic ingredients and the neighborhood—not corporate—feel of the interior spaces. And whether they’re chopping veggies at the prep station or greeting customers at the front door, there’s always a chance to give compliments to the chef ... in person. 1 Aiello’s

partying without the pretense QUICK TIPS 31
Must Be Fate
If Fate is CenPho’s favorite Asian-fusion eatery, then nextDOOR (located, where else?) is its hip microbrewguzzling American cousin. Gather ‘round fire pits at this patio-only bar.
Unlike Tempe’s rowdy college bars and Scottsdale’s seeand-be-seen scene, Phoenix’s nightlife is understated and hip—like your favorite vintage band tee. There are no red carpets, $21 martinis or Lamborghinis parked out front; CenPho’s bars, clubs and music venues care more about the show than the showmanship. Dress codes are

night owls that include hip-hop artists as well as starving artists. While school-night partying hasn’t quite reached its prime, weekends are abuzz at Washington Street’s strip of clubs, Grand Avenue’s taverns and the spattering of wine bars throughout the region. On Friday nights, slip on your skin-tight jeans for French Kiss, Homme’s electro dance party. Then on Saturdays groove to funky house on the rooftop patio at Bar Smith. For a quieter night out, hit up The Roosevelt for microbrews and subdued conversation (just don’t expect a seat) or Cheuvront Wine & Cheese Café for downtown’s best selection of vino. Trust us, after a night out in CenPho you won’t even miss valet. 1 AMSTERDAM
