  1. ASU Art Museum: Great Free Museum

    ‘Okay’ rating Posted over 4 years ago

    Arizona State University has a collection of free museums on campus, but the ASU Art Museum is the largest and the easiest to find. It is intended to be an interactive museum, which means they have a rotation of artists in residence throughout the year and they try to house exhibitions that are thought provoking and involving. You never know what you're going to see there (or how you'll react to it) and that's the beauty of the museum. Parking can be tricky on campus, but there are metered spaces just outside the museum and you can park north of the museum in front of the Ceramics Research Center (also a part of the art museum). Just be sure to register your license plate at the front desk.

  2. Changing Hands Bookstore: If I designed a bookstore, this would be it

    ‘Okay’ rating Posted over 4 years ago

    Changing Hands Bookstore has been in Tempe for years, for good reason. They have a tremendous selection of books, used and new, and a very knowledgeable staff. In addition, they carry gift items like jewelry, candles and cards. Authors stop by on a frequent basis to discuss their latest work, and there are also classes for aspiring writers and even those who want to practice Spanish. And, right next door is Wildflower Bread Company -- the perfect place for a tasty salad or sandwich and my favorite, the pumpkin chocolate chip muffins.

  3. Pita Jungle: Great food, cool vibe

    ‘Okay’ rating Posted over 4 years ago

    Pita Jungle is one of Tempe's most original restaurants. The food, which has a Mediterranean flair, is fabulous. The prices are extremely reasonable. The portions are huge. And, the people watching is fantastic. Everyone from college kids to artists to business professionals love it equally. There's also a rotating display of local art for sale inside. My recommendation? The broiled chicken salad or pita. It's so good, it'll bring tears to your eyes. Really.

  4. Four Peaks Brewing Company: Hang with the locals at Four Peaks

    ‘Okay’ rating Posted over 4 years ago

    Four Peaks Brewery is a little off the beaten path, but so worth a trip. They have at least 8 beers on tap, brewed right behind the bar. Their food is better than good. I highly recommend their flatbread sandwiches, their pizzas and of course, burgers and fries. It gets busy during happy hour, so plan ahead so you can get a table. It's located south of University, right inbetween McClintock and Rural.

  5. Tempe Town Lake: Tempe Town Lake

    ‘Okay’ rating Posted over 4 years ago

    My favorite time to visit Tempe Town Lake is in the late afternoon. There are usually crew teams and sailboats and lots of people running, walking and biking along the paths. Once the sun begins to set, the water takes on a lovely glow. It reminds me that this is the only place in the Phoenix area where I can get a little exercise while enjoying the scenery of a lake.
