Free Breakfast Burritos & Champagne at Fed By Threads for Local First Arizona Shopping Sunday

Dec 6, 20141 min read

For one hour this Sunday at 10am (that’s tomorrow), Local First Arizona, Gio Taco, and Fed By Threads are teaming up for Shopping Sunday – an hour of private shopping.

It’s a free event for Localists. If you’re not a Localist, it’s easy and inexpensive to become one ($20/year. Register here or at event).

There are three good reasons to make it out to this event. One, it’s Gio Taco. Their food is stellar. In fact, the Citrus Marinated Grilled Chicken Burrito (which will not be served at this event) is one of my favorite burritos in town lately. Two, combine that with Fed By Threads who provide 12 emergency meals for every garment sold, and you get one killer hour of creative, fun, and delicious shopping. (View Fed By Threads catalog here.)

Finally, Local First Arizona is trailblazing the non-profit world with their truly ‘local first’ vision and mission. (Check out Local First Arizona’s About Us page here.) This is a way to get out and see firsthand what they’re up to and how they help support local businesses.

It’s a one-of-a-kind way to spend one of your shopping hours trying new food, networking with other like-minded localists, and picking up some fashion forward, community-conscious threads.

Hope to see you there!

Tucson’s resorts offer some of the region’s most memorable dining, from Sonoran-inspired steakhouses to poolside grills with mountain views. Whether you’re staying overnight or stopping in for dinner, these properties make the meal part of the experience.

Additionally, the variety across these resorts featured here spans far beyond a single style of dining. Guests can settle into a fine-dining room overlooking the Santa Catalinas, grab tacos by the pool, or join a chef-led cooking class before dinner. Each property brings its own take on desert hospitality, so this guide breaks down where to eat and what makes each spot worth the trip.🧳🌞

@Thedistrict520 has taken over a Tucson address with nearly two decades of history. 

Once home to Pastiche, the space sat dark and gutted for two years after a difficult chapter that left the building severely damaged. Now, longtime Pastiche regulars Gabriel Cordova and Tracy Hien have brought 3025 N. Campbell Ave. back to life.

The result is something entirely new: a sports bar with nine 4K screens, shuffleboard, a pool table, and a scratch-cooking approach to burgers, wings, shrimp, and more.

From rebuilding the space themselves to receiving the blessing of Pastiche owner Pat Connors’ widow, Julie, the story behind The District is about more than opening a restaurant. It is about giving a wounded neighborhood landmark another chapter.
