Le Girls Gentlemen’s Club

Location, as they say, is everything. And Le Girls Cabaret’s plumb spot straddling the Tempe and Phoenix border illustrates this axiom. It’s in close proximity to the jockish alpha males of Arizona State University, hipsters from downtown Tempe, tourists flying through Sky Harbor, and Hispanic from East Phoenix barrios. In other words, the same sort […]

Legend City Studios

Owned by local artist Randy Slack, Brandon Sullivan and Camerawerks, this 7,000-square foot downtown Phoenix gallery hosts some of the best shows of the annual Art Detour event.

Lincoln Family Phoenix Downtown YMCA

Who wants to dress to impress for a workout? Who wants to pay big bucks for the privilege of getting sweaty in public? And who really thinks that prestige matters when it comes to pumping iron?

Lisa Sette Gallery

Lo Lo’s Chicken & Waffles

Fried chicken simply doesn’t get any better than this, unless it’s paired with waffles. Everything on the soul food menu is homemade and completely addictive, with luscious catfish, red snapper, omelets, greens, mac ‘n’ cheese, and red velvet cake. Leave the diet at the door.

Lo-Lo’s Chicken & Waffles

One of Phoenix’s best soul food restaurants, Lo Lo’s Chicken and Waffles is bound to make everyone happy (except maybe vegetarians). The Southern-style fried chicken is extra crispy and served with cinnamon-kissed golden brown waffles. Don’t knock it ’til you’ve tried it. If the signature combo seems too strange for you, Lo Lo’s also has […]

Local Breeze

Owner Sid Campbell was a longtime cook at Pischke’s Paradise, the now-shuttered Scottsdale eatery, so he’s revived some favorite Pischke’s dishes here in tribute to his late employer, Chris Pischke (the Fire Island pizza, in particular, is worth a try). And as the restaurant name suggests, Local Breeze has a subtle tropical vibe, capitalizing on […]
