I'll be a Network training course in Phoenix this week and am looking for places I shouldn't miss....food (Sushi, Meat, Vegan....I'm Game), Entertainment, and local hang-outs

Here are a couple of places.

Tons of Sushi places too!

Here are some more...

The Tuna Poke is awesome, drinks are good too

Hana Sushi http://hanajapaneseeatery.com/
Very good sushi, but BYOB

Yasu Sushi Bistro http://www.yelp.com/biz/yasu-sushi-bistro-phoenix
One of the best sushi places in the Valley. Can be pricey

The Parlor http://www.yelp.com/biz/the-parlor-phoenix
My favorite pizza in town, besides Pizzeria Bianco (which is incredible, but literally hours of waiting)

BARS:
Shady's http://greatjoints.com/bar.php?id=76
great little bar - excellent juke box, pool table, eclectic crowd

The Roosevelt http://www.yelp.com/biz/the-roosevelt-phoenix
especially great if you like beer

AZ88 http://web.me.com/az88/AZ88/Home.html
probably best bartenders in town, pretty killer food too
christmas tree rocks this year also - over 3000 $1 bills

COFFEE/HANG:
Lux Coffee Bar http://www.luxcoffee.com/
Lola Coffee http://www.yelp.com/biz/lola-coffee-phoenix

SHOPS
Red Hot Robot http://www.redhotrobot.net
This is my place - stop by and say hi!

Stinkweeds http://www.stinkweeds.com/
Best indie music store in town, next door to my shop

MADE Art Boutique http://www.madephx.com/
Phx Public Market http://www.foodconnect.org/phoenixmarket/

Enjoy your trip!

if you're looking for good vegetarian/vegan go to Green http://www.greenvegetarian.com/

Don't forget to pet the giant Killer if you stop by RHR. It brings you good luck and will get you laid!

Have fun!

Green is a great place, even my non veg and non vegan friends say this place is really good.
I have non veg friends that go w/out me.
Try their soynami's (vegan version of a Dairy Queen Blizzard), its awesome!!

How was the trip to PHX?
