The conference schedule provides opportunities on Sunday and Tuesday nights to explore what’s become a vibrant local restaurant scene. The range of choices can be daunting, limited only by how far you’re willing to drive or cab. So what places are worth the effort?
Here are two batches of suggestions gleaned from the local Zagat guide. One lists the Phoenix and Scottsdale areas’ consumer favorites, the places that might be worth a competitive shop because they resonate with the buying public. The other presents the 10 restaurants with the top 10 highest food ratings from Zagat’s citizen-reviewers.
Please let us know about your dining experiences so we can share those with your fellow attendees. Drop a note to promeo@cspnet.com.
