THE 72 SERIES - PHOENIX - For Your Coffee Table

Eeek! She’s here! My first blog post and itinerary launch. Bare with me as we figure this website thing out together, I can’t wait to show you about all about my current city! Phoenix and the greater area is so large, these recommendations are based off of some of my personal favorites/where I hang the most, Phoenix proper. The greater area has so many unique and fun areas so be sure to be on the lookout for future itineraries for Scottsdale, and what I like to call Phoensdale (a mix of great areas). Now that the simplified itinerary has been leaked, let’s get into the details.

$$-$$$	Carry On Speakeasy	Located to the side of Wren & Wolf, this transformative cocktail experience will be sure to have you on cloud 9! Arrive early as the plane takes off exactly on time. *Pro tip: check in at wren & wolf for your boarding pass pre-flight (mocktails also available)

Budget
$-$$	Different Pointe of View (Terrace Room)	One of the most iconic and stunning views of the Valley. Save your money and skip the fine dining, head to the terrace room one floor below the restaurant and have a glass of your choice on the patio. *Occasional events pre-book the terrace room so you may want to check in advance to make sure it’s available
$$	Latha	A true phoenix gem! Locally owned, Latha provides a curated and immersive experience. Serving contemporary Pan-African cuisine full of delicious bold flavors, your taste buds will not be disappointed. *Personal favorites: Whipped Goat Cheese & Dayboat Fish Moqueca
$$	Luci’s At the Orchard	Breakfast, Lunch, & Coffee surrounded with beautiful scenery, covered outdoor space, and quaint vibes
$$-$$$	Harumi Sushi	My ALL TIME favorite restaurant in Phoenix. For my sushi lovers, don’t miss. Fresh fish flown in daily from Japan, the price for the quality is unmatched. *Personal favorite: Lychee Martini & 13 piece omakase for $55 (only served after 5pm and until fish runs out)
$$	Otro Cafe	Can’t go wrong for Brunch, Lunch or Dinner. A local favorite with tons of flavor. Bonus: adjoined coffee shop “Cafecito” for a mid-day pick me up. *Personal favorites: Chilaquiles or La Parrillada
$	Angie’s Prime Grill	Breakfast, lunch, or dinner. The BEST salad and wraps for $6.99. Also recommend the breakfast burritos. Try one of their recommended pairings or make your own. Order on-line or at the kiosk for this simple yet filling experience. *Personal favorite: The Harvest Salad
