Well, it was a heck of a winter season, wasn’t it? The brisk air had a breezy time flowing around the city and now with spring in full effect, new dishes are sprouting up in downtown Tucson. With the changing of the season comes a handful of new spring menu items at HUB Restaurant & Ice Creamery.
“Bright and lively” are the focus of the new seasonal menu. From Ahi Tuna Salad to Basil Pesto Farfalle, the newest creations invite everyone to enjoy the warmer, desert weather with light and fresh ingredients. Plus, HUB’s tasty new cocktails pair perfectly with the new dishes (with one of your HUB favorites, too).
Keep scrolling and take a dive into the menu with these lovely photos.
