Valley residents don’t hightail it out of town just because the mercury is on the rise. More than ever, the variety of things to do in and around the region makes it the place to be during the summer months. The tag on each entry in our You Are Here guide is coordinated with maps that help you locate each destination.

Great deals on lodging, dining, recreation, golf, events and shopping offer up a number of ways to while away the days and nights. The indoor exhibits at the Musical Instrument Museum, Heard Museum, Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art and Arizona Science Center will let you keep your cool while opening your eyes to something new. A full slate of concerts, dances and festivals celebrate summer, especially when it comes to Fourth of July activities. Tempe 4th is one of the state’s most popular events, while other Valley towns put on patriotic parades and shows, such as Peoria’s All-American Festival.

It’s a great time for dining out in the Valley when the restaurants are a little less-crowded than during the winter season. Whether you’re looking for Mexican, Asian, Italian, Indian or American dishes, Phoenix is a great spot for ethnic cuisine. Get a taste of down-home Mexican and enjoy the busy sidewalk-café ambience of Scottsdale’s Southbridge at the Barrio Queen Tequileria.

This is the time of year to hit the area lakes, whether you prefer jet-skis, ski and party boats, shoreline camping, fishing or swimming.

Roosevelt Lake offers central Arizona’s largest body of Surprise water, while Lake Pleasant is a Peoria shimmering West Valley jewel.

Scottsdale Golf courses throughout the area Glendale 17 51 101 101 offer significantly reduced greens fees during the summer, as well Paradise Valley Central Phoenix as lively 19th-hole refreshment 202 10 spots. No matter what your Avondale Tempe interests, we offer a wealth of 10 ideas for cool summer fun.

Scottsdale Quarter

CityNorth City-like streets and the hustle and bustle in the evenings are what is making CityNorth a popular place to be. There is little to do shopping-wise, but food and drink is on the rise. Dining is the pastime of choice as Blue Martini, Kona Grill, Ocean Prime and Mellow Mushroom offer fine dining, drinks and live music. High Street is the main boulevard that comes alive at night.

Many of the eateries have outdoor spaces that bring life to the street. citycenterofcitynorth.com

Scottsdale Quarter “The Quarter,” as it is becoming known as, is high-end shopping scattered with some unique, smaller, boutique businesses like Nambé, Verde Maison and the stylish contempo salon Drybar. Big boys include Apple, Pottery Barn and NIKE. Dining will also add to the urban flare. Brio Tuscan Grill, Dominick’s Steakhouse and Narcisse Champaign & Tea Lounge keeps ‘em coming back for fine food and service not to forget. scottsdalequarter.com

CityScape Likely the Valley’s new urban center, CityScape is booming. The party has started with dining choices from Five Guys to Copper Blues Rock Pub. Downtown retail comes alive here with Urban Outfitters, West of SoHo and Charming Charlie’s — all urban seekers’ clotheries in the heart of this corporate urban center.

The new urban-chic Palomar Hotel opens in June with a roof-top bar open to non hotel guests. Cool views and cool times. cityscapephoenix.com

Scottsdale Waterfront Lining the canal in Old Town Scottsdale, this unique urban center has become an everevolving hot spot. Olive & Ivy has been a fixture with its expansive patio overlooking the canal and the shops and eateries on the South Bank. Adjacent to Scottsdale Fashion Square, this place has it all. Wildfish is the perfect spot for the latenight crowd to imbibe drinks and music. Paths along the water and city street give this urban hot spot incredible evening ambience. bitly.com/sctswaterfront

SanTan Village The suburbs of metro Phoenix are home to some great shopping malls and dining districts. SanTan is unique in that there are some national gems and a couple of local hot spots that make a trip to this Gilbert locale worth it. Blue Wasabi Sushi and Martini Bar, Cantina Laredo, Kona Grill and The Keg Steakhouse are for those who want to really make a night of it. Brio Tuscan Grille and Grimaldi’s Pizzeria are your choices for fresh Italian. shopsantanvillage.com

Westgate City Center This urban center has become the Valley’s sports mecca. Hit Jimmy Buffet’s Margaritaville for a tropical refreshment or Kabuki’s for Japanese flavors. More than 15 restaurants and bars make this an entertainment hip spot. La Lady, Quiksilver and Sketchers are among the urban clotheries spanning this six-block urban entertainment district. Water features, movie theaters and professional football and hockey mean fun. westgatecitycenter.com youarehereaz.com

During the summer months

, the Valley offers a host of opportunities for art aficionados to explore cool galleries, museums, performances and off-beat venues filled with Native American, Hispanic, Asian, African and European cultural influences. For starters, discover the worldfamous Heard Museum’s extensive collection of American Indian art during Summer Sundays that feature hands-on activities, story-readings, scavenger hunts and performances. Or the unique Musical Instrument Museum, just two years old but already an important cultural attraction for the Valley with its amazing collection representing ethnic musical arts around the world. Feeling inspired? Take one of the many classes offered by Mesa Center for the Arts or Scottsdale Artists’ School, or, if you’d rather critique than create, join one of the Valley’s monthly art walks. In the West Valley, you can listen to the sounds of Billie Holiday or Frank Sinatra during tribute shows at Theater Works, or cool off in downtown Phoenix at Herberger Theater Center, which offers a full slate of performances all summer long.

Girly Galore This one-stop shopping place for girls of all ages was created by a mom for moms. Girly Girlz is all about girly things, tea parties, “posh” princess parties and more. Each of the stores is a boutique with accessories, crafts and other girly gifts for parties, showers, birthdays and other occasions or just to excite the girl in you.

Makeup, dress-up clothing and other fun gifts will pamper the princess at home with bath products, glitzy jewelry and accessories.

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

Rec & Stuff

Refreshing Rec Residents seek cool fun Golfland Sunsplash

OK K1 Speed

Indoor go-kart racing has become a craze. Because it is indoors, it is summer fun for all. K1 Speed’s professional professional tracks with European-style electric karts that approach speeds of 45 mph make a pro out of anyone.

2425 S. 21st St., Phoenix 602-275-5278 k1speed.com/phoenix

Xtreme Pursuit

Coat your friends with paint at Xtreme Pursuit Indoor Paintball. A fully enclosed, 30,000-square-foot arena with dirt floors, bunkers and air-filled obstacles makes for a war zone of fun for family and friends.

4240 W. Camelback Rd., Phoenix 602-447-8200 westworldpaintball.com

Water Cool Play

Water parks open and are in full splash this time of year. Here are the Valley’s coolest zones:

Big Surf 1500 N. Hayden Rd., Tempe 480-994-2297 • bigsurffun.com

Golfland Sunsplash 155 Hampton Ave., Mesa 480-834-8319 • golfland.com/mesa

Wet ’N’ Wild 4243 W. Pinnacle Peak Rd., Glendale 623-201-2000 wetnwildphoenix.com 20

Chances are, you won’t want to hit the ground runnin’ during a Valley summer, but don’t worry, there are plenty of ways to keep your cool while you get your game on. It may be called the “Valley of the Sun,” but several scenic lakes offer refreshing getaways that don’t take hours of driving. A chain of lakes dominates the eastern region of the Valley, where you can water-ski, jet-ski, camp, fish and picnic. The largest of these, Roosevelt Lake, boasts more than 112 miles of shoreline with serene coves and plenty of opportunities for all sorts of water sports. In the northwest Valley, the cool, clear water of Lake Pleasant provides the perfect spot for sailing, water-skiing, jet-skiing and fishing. Big Surf, Wet ’n’ Wild and Golfland Sunsplash, as well as many resort water parks, let you surf, slide and splash away hot days. If water isn’t your thing, check out indoor activities, such as Scottsdale’s AZ on the Rocks, Arizona’s largest indoor rock-climbing gym.

And you can always chill out at Polar Ice, skating rinks with locations in Chandler, Gilbert and Peoria.

Summer Discounts

Summer is the time to get your practice in on some of the best courses in America.

Arizona Biltmore Rates start at $39 arizonabiltmore.com/golf

The Boulders Rates between $50 & $95 bouldersclub.com

Las Sendas Rates between $20 & $40 lassendas.com

Playing golf during the summer months in Phoenix may seem counterintuitive, but this is the time of year when you’ll get great deals on a round of golf without the crowds. With more than 200 different courses to choose from in the Valley, you can find just the course that suits you. The trick is to start early or, if you prefer to wind down your day by hitting the links, you may find even lower greens fees. At this time of year, resorts offer substantial discounts on rates, such as those at Whirlwind Golf Course at Sheraton Wild Horse Pass in Chandler. JW Marriott Desert Ridge is home to Wildfire Golf Club with two courses, one designed by Arnold Palmer and another designed by Nick Faldo. Both offer stunning mountain views and are conveniently located in northeast Phoenix. If you’re a golf purist, be sure to schedule a tee time at any of the historic Wigwam Resort’s three courses, two of which were designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr.

Take Out Bianco

Pane Bianco is a quaint, almost roadside-like hut by Chris Bianco.

Freshly baked focaccia sandwiches tempt the taste buds with the best ingredients. Don’t get too comfortable — this hot spot is take-out only.

4404 N. Central Ave., Phoenix 602-234-2100 pizzeriabianco.com/pane

Raw

Crudo (“raw,” in Italian) has opened its unique concept. Think “sashimi meets Italian food.”

They say, “Think less ginger and more basil and vinaigrette.” For the non-raw crowd, try the cotto (cooked) menu.

3603 E. Indian School Rd., Phoenix 480-358-8666 crudoaz.com

Scared to Death

Huh? A monster-themed eatery?

This haunted-house-turnedrestaurant may be a first. Burgers, salads and sandwiches make up Monsterland’s menu and ghouls, gore and goblins make up the décor. Lunch, dinner and late-night music and dancing will make for a frightfully good time.

18 W. Main St., Mesa 480-461-3300 monsterland.com

We know it’s hot outside, so comfort food during this time of year in the Valley usually means something cool and refreshing. Salads, burgers and barbecue anything, alongside a sweet tea or a cold beer are what you’re looking for. Check out the summer menu at Chelsea’s Kitchen, where garden-fresh staples star in dishes like Farmer’s Market Vegetables and Crispy Chicken & Spinach Salad. Hula’s Modern Tiki is keeping it cool, island-style, while Scottsdale’s Renegade Canteen serves up a mean ceviche.

Margaritaville in Glendale offers up a license to chill, as well as its iconic cheeseburger in paradise and icy — you guessed it — margaritas. Several new ice cream shops are churning out some artisan offerings like salted butter caramel and basil lime sorbet, as well as the old stand-bys vanilla, chocolate, butter pecan and strawberry. And for a super cool treat, check out the gelato pies in flavors like cantaloupe, Nutella or Meyer lemon from Grateful Spoon Gelato in Phoenix.

QUICK TIPS

Valley dining spots are urban attraction

Italian: Bianco Style Chris Bianco opened his Italian Restaurant at the beginning of this year to high expectations. Reviews have not been so hot, so Bianco has had a change of heart. Robbie Tutlewski will take the helm from Claudio Urciuoli. Urciuoli and Bianco simply had creative differences but are reported to be in good stead. The new menu will be simple, Italian-American dishes that Bianco had envisioned from day one. Creations include

Sweet creations from Valley hot spots

It doesn’t sound gourmet, but this notable hot spot recently won the James Beard American Classics Recognition award – one of only five nationally. Sometimes known as elephant ears, these fry breads are made of flour, salt, sugar and Crisco.

Mmm. Crispy and topped with honey and powdered sugar, these are so much better than what’s available at the county fair. Don’t go for just the 2502 E. Camelback Rd., Phoenix dessert — have a Native-American 602-522-2344 • christophersaz.com taco that is said to the best in the state.

This Chicago-style pizza joint has locations Valley-wide that make it an easy choice to fill that sweet craving.

The Original Pizza Cookie is a halfpound of chocolate chip or white chocolate macadamia nut cookie dough under-baked and topped with 3 scoops of vanilla ice cream.

Under-baked means there is a choice of the creamy center or the crispy outer edge to accompany every bite.

Fortunately, it is meant to be shared with others.

Multiple locations Valley-wide oreganos.com 36

FRANK & ALBERT’S

Fry Bread House

He’s a Valley legend and his Chocolate Mousse Tower is world-renowned.

Chef Christopher Gross makes a silo shell of white and dark chocolate that’s filled with chocolate mousse. Topped with strawberries and drizzled with an Illy espresso chocolate sauce, it’s a sight to see and a chocolate lover’s necessity. Chef Christopher even appeared on TV with Julia Childs making this dessert.

Oregano’s Pizza Bistro

Authentic Brazilian steakhouse.

4140 N. 7th Ave., Phoenix 602-351-2345

Rock Springs Café Not nearby but worth mention on any list of great desserts. This place is the pie place of all pie places — in fact, it’s best to get there before the rush as pies go fast. Homemade daily, these fruit pies (seasonally available) and meringues are so famous that people come from all over America to taste one. Flakey crust, fresh fillings and sliced to order.

Christopher’s Crush

Haus Murphy’s At the Valley’s best-known German restaurant, it’s worth the effort to save room for their cherry strudel. This home-fresh sweet-andsomewhat-sour dessert is crafted for cherry flavor within a smooth, doughlike crêpe. Other desserts include German chocolate cake, a Sauerkraut Cake and various other specialties made to order.

5739 W. Glendale Ave., Glendale 623-939-2480 • hausmurphys.com

Zinburger Wine & Burger Bar Known for its gourmet burgers and tasty shakes, Zinburger is home to the best banana cream pie in town. This delicate and flavorful dessert is made with fresh bananas and a delicate cream. Smooth, pudding-like filling with a sweet, savory banana flavor will bring out the ape in all who attempt it.

Make it a Habit This 40-year-old California institution stretched into Arizona a year ago and will soon open its fourth location locally. Known for tasty, Habit Burger

char-grilled burgers made with the freshest ingredients, Habit Burger’s salads, grilled chicken or steak sandwiches, sweet potato fries and creamy milkshakes are equally habit-forming.

Go Yogurt

Mojo

New and notable, healthy(ier) summer treats are the craze at local yogurteries Mojo

Serving non-fat yogurt, sorbet and smoothies in their same location since 1987 in Downtown Phoenix, this may well be one of the yogurt pioneers in the Valley. It’s set in a traditional-style ice cream shop atmosphere and offers 20-calorieper-ounce treats that can be topped with fruits, candies and bit of everything from brownies to nuts.

Forty toppings to choose from.

Get your mojo or fro-yo (frozen yogurt) at one of these hip yogurteries. Complete with music and televisions playing retro TV shows, these shops are reminiscent of a local high-style night club for the family. It originated in Newport Beach, Calif., with the idea that a healthy treat was in high demand. Self-serve and daily additions to the yogurt flavor line-up means coming back is a new taste adventure each time.

2 N. Central Ave., Phoenix 602-495-9226 • atouchofyogurt.com

Yumberi Yogurt Cool and “organic”-designed shops with green building products and the highest-quality, best-tasting yogurts is the concept behind this hip joint. Making a difference within the communities is also part of the method behind creator Bruce Baker’s yogurteries. Thirty-two toppings and 15 yogurt flavors are available to choose from.

Swedish Dishes Not a name likely to be forgotten, Beaver Choice is a Scandinavian cookery that serves up some memorable dishes. The Chicken Schnitzel Cordon Bleu was named a top Valley dish in 2010 and has put this unique and unassuming place on the map. It is about the food for sure.

Décor is like going to a kiddie park in Grandma’s dining room, but one taste of their Polish/Swedish/ Canadian creations makes that impression completely inconsequential.

It’s the weekend and you’re ready to cut loose. Or maybe it’s only Wednesday. But no matter which day of the week it is, the Valley offers a wide variety of places to unwind. Classic bars, dance clubs, breweries, sports bars, pubs and award-winning restaurants and lounges make up an eclectic list of hot spots for nighttime fun. If you’re in the mood for some blues, there’s no better place The Rhythm Room, which offers live music from some of the Valley’s favorite performers seven days a week. When the sun goes down, Scottsdale sizzles with dance clubs, wine bars and lounges. Catch the fun atmosphere at Firehouse for drinks and dancing. Cheer on the hometown team within spitting distance of the ballpark at Majerle’s in Downtown Phoenix, or go retro at CityNorth’s Blue Martini, where you can choose from more than 40 different martinis, including Three Chocolates, The Perfect Pear and Key Lime Pie. Get your giddy-up on at Westgate’s Saddle Ranch, where you can ride the bull while you listen to rock ’n’ roll. And just off Union Hills Road and Loop 101 in north Glendale, check out O2 Lounge, with varied programming that, on weekends, includes live entertainment.
