The old and the new are at peace together in Phoenix, which embraces its burgeoning modernity with new developments but never loses its identity of heritage.
Gay travelers are not at a loss here — in fact, last week the city celebrated Gay Pride with its annual festival. Already steeped in cultural diversity and artistic diversity, Phoenix’s LGBT community enjoys clubs, restaurants and shops speckled throughout the city that are either gay-owned or gay-friendly. But beyond that, Phoenix is breathtaking in its fantastic convergence of modern luxury and gritty outdoors. For city boys and nature girls — and vice versa — there is much to behold.
When fall hits, the weather settles into perfection. Street fairs appear and patio eating dominates many of the city’s hip eateries.
In North Central Phoenix, The Windsor oozes hipness whether inside its small walls or on its huge patio. The food is upgraded pub fare but its vibe rings loudest with mustachioed waiters and a wall plastered with audiocassettes. After the two-hander pulled pork sandwich with housemade chips, step next door for dessert at Churn with its homemade ice creams.
