We love calling Tucson home, and this is why.

Tucson is a great place to live, play and work. The climate and people that make up this little big town keep it funky, energetic and a down right great place to live. Here are some of our Tucson favorites, if you can think of others we have missed or need to try, please shoot us an email and let us know! Enjoy.

DeAnza Drive-in One of the last drive in theaters around, it is a great place to take in two movies for $6/person. You can even bring your own bottle of wine and plate of cheese, or a burger and beer depending on the flick of the evening.

Sabino Canyon Sabino may be a little warm in the summer, but it is a great hike or place to stroll almost all year long. They even feature some full moon hikes!

Fox Theater Recently restored to it's former glory, Fox is like stepping back in time. We have seen Breakfast at Tiffanies and Casablanca on the big screen while sipping Champagne in love seat on the balcony view. This is an experience you won't want to miss!

Mt. Lemon The mountain is a Tucson escape all year long. From summer camping and international cycling to winter slopes, Mt. Lemon is a outdoor haven. After the fires Summer Haven has had to rebuild, their new found energy is breathing new life into an already great attraction.

Hotel Congress This a happening hangout with history. Everything from 80's to techno theatrics

Rialto This classic theater is a great place to catch some brand new bands as well as timeless classics.

Level is a taste of big clubbing in a smaller town. This nightclub features beat breaking DJ's and great drinks. if you are looking for a night on the town, don't miss Level.

Zin Burger Is one of the fabulous restaurants from the Fox Restaurant concepts chain. The feature gourmet burgers, Hey Mambo wine and great service!

Zona's Is one of our favorite Happy Hour hang outs. The staff knows their wines and fine dining and hanging with them is like having lunch with old friends.

Beyond Bread Well, this is just a down right fabulous, never seen anything better sandwich joint

The Firkin and Friar Pub We love to take in a stealers game with a pint at this classic Irish hangout whenever possible.

Oreganos With my passion for design it is hard not to notice and love this great spicy Italian restaurant. This joint knows service, with a friendly hello when you walk in the door and a "Cheers" style service through out your meal they have great food, some wonderful beers and wines and a warm cookie desert to finish.

Seasoned Woman This is a quaint little shop featuring original jewelry creations and woman centric gifts.

Sarnoff Really the only place to get all your arts supplies, period.

Rum Runner You would think that the name says it all, but really it only scratches the surface. Rum Runner houses the Dish, a mouth watering old world bistro paired with contemporary wine gems.
