Downtown Venue Review: Two Hippies

5341 N. Seventh Ave.
Phoenix, AZ 85013
(602) 265-3604

Several months ago we tried Two Hippies tacos and dug it. The amount of food for the price was great, and the same is almost much true for the pizzeria they opened up on 7th Ave.  For less than $8 you can get a decent sized pie that is [...]

More on Sustainable Eating in PHX

My friend Tazmine Loomans has a great website that I look at when thinking about where to eat.

She has done a great review of Sapna, on Grand. I did a review a few months ago, but this one goes in to much greater detail.

It is worth a look. Sapna is also worth trying out, especially [...]

Sustainable Nosh in Greater PHX

My friend and architect Tazmine Loomans has a blog where she highlights restaurants that feature sustainable food choices.

Locally-grown, organic even proximity to public transport.

She has a whole new list of restaurants and coffee bars. Some are in Phoenix and some are not. Regardless, it is a pretty good guide and a good place to check [...]

St. Francis

St. Francis
111 E Camelback Rd

I tried St. Francis almost a month ago and I’m so sorry that I could not get a review up on GetYourPHX.com sooner. This is a great addition to Phoenix’s food scene.

The night we went, it felt as if the summer had broken. There was a cool breeze; not heard from [...]

Parlor

The Parlor
1916 E. Camelback Road

I admit it. I have a crush on The Parlor. I’ve been three times since it opened early last month.

You know, The Parlor proves that you can put almost anything on pizza and have a hit if the crust is good. I had the Yukon Gold once, which was pizza with [...]

Sapna Cafe

1301 NW Grand Avenue

I remember walking along Grand Ave. years ago when I saw the corner property that is now Sapna Cafe. It was an oddly shaped space, just a cake slice of a building. I figured it would be perfect for a little coffee bar or restaurant.

I have not heard much talk on the [...]

Lola Cafe

4700 North Central Ave.

The founder of Lux and Lola Tapas, Daniel Wayne, has re-entered the coffee trade (he sold Lux several years ago).

The new Lola Café is just north of Lux at Highland and Central. I can’t figure out why he is so close to Lux and why he did not start this new venture [...]

Two Hippies Beach Shack

501 E. Camelback Rd.

Two Hippies is not new. People have been raving about it since late last year. But I never got around to reviewing it.

Folks, this is some of the best recession food you can find. Get a Taco 3-pack for $5 or a massive burrito for $5. My three pack always includes the [...]

The Vinery

214 W. Roosevelt

These guys have had a hard time of it, I’m afraid. They’ve only been open since mid-April. They don’t have a liquor license yet. They’ve been handing out free sangria to compensate, and I’ve still heard some complaints.

A group of seven of us went last week; very excited to try it out. I [...]

Postino Central

5144 N. Central Ave.

I’ve always enjoyed the original Postino at 40th St. and Campbell. They had good wine and pleasant food. It’s good news that the owners have opened Postino Central at 5144 N Central Ave.

However, it’s sad that the old Katz’s Deli at that same location had to close down to make room. Originally [...]
