While not exactly in Phoenix, I’ve found a new favorite place to hang out and have fun: Tempe Marketplace (http://www.tempemarketplace.com)

The big outdoor market is full of great restaurants, loads of off-the-chain shopping, and entertainment.

Be sure to hit Slices (http://slicespizzajoint.com) and Mojo Yogurt (http://www.mojoyogurt.com) for yumminess, then head over to Dave & Buster’s or the Marketplace 16, home of the largest movie screen in Arizona.
