For a special occasion, this bar and restaurant sits on top of a mountain overlooking downtown Phoenix. It is expensive, but the food is great, or just come for dessert or a drink and sit outside by the fire pit. Live music sometimes in the bar.

The building is a dive, but the area is safe. This place has been popular for many years. They give a big, homemade cinnamon and sugar cookie with every meal (or chocolate) and you can get rice bowls, burritos or combos. They will even let you taste various items. We love the emerald chicken and the jade chicken, but everything is really good.

Good Greek food, reasonably priced. May want to take it to go and have a picnic as we think they use too much cleaning fluid on the floors and tables.

This is a good trail if you don't have walking sticks. Most of it is paved except at the start of the trail from the visitor center. The visitor center is well done. If you want a fully-paved trail, go to the next place you can turn west off 7th Street. You may have to wait for a spot there because there are only about 10 spots.
