In an area of downtown Phoenix, away from sports complexes and most office buildings, there's an area developing a nice urban lifestyle feeling for young professionals, artists and locals who have embraced the developing urban Phoenix lifestyle. These aren't all the restaurants and cafes in the area, but they are all within a few blocks of a METRO light rail station. If you attend First Friday, all of these are convenient spots for a glass of wine or a snack.
They appear in no particular order. Want me to add one? Has one of these closed? Tell me about it.
