Lifestyle

After your morning round of golf or desert hike, enjoy a Southern breakfast at Sugar Jam, lemon-ricotta pancakes at Soul Cafe, or meet your brunch goals at the very hip Hash Kitchen.

If you’re headed to the office, pick up a lavender oat latte and a fresh pastry at Maverick Coffee or a cold brew and avocado toast at Press Coffee in Old Town.

For a fun day with the kids (or grandkids!), head to the OdySea Aquarium, Butterfly Wonderland, and Pangaea Land of the Dinosaurs all at the Arizona Boardwalk, then cool off with some ice cream at Sweet Republic.

In the evening, browse the art galleries in Old Town, see a show at the Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts, or head to “Sunsets and Sips” at Frank Lloyd Wright’s Taliesin West to watch the sun dip under the desert landscape while enjoying a craft cocktail.

Scottsdale’s restaurant scene is ever-evolving, with standout choices such as upscale Mexican cuisine at Toca Madera, woodfired pizza at Craft 64, a filet mignon cobb salad at The White Chocolate Grill, short ribs at Citizen Public House, or dinner with friends and family at one of the incredible country clubs in your beautiful new hometown.
