“I scream, you scream...oh, hush! In this warm weather town, there’s no need to scream for ice cream. This year-round favorite treat and its cool cousins, gelato, and sorbet are widely available in a variety of distinctive styles and flavors. You’ll also find more unusual fare such as Indian golas, a version of shaved ice.” — @ediebjarolim

Just across the street from Fox Tucson Theatre, the side that faces Church Avenue, a train is rolling into town — sort of. The Phoenix-based Platform 18 cocktail bar and interactive experience is moving into the space that previously housed the Chapman Management Group.

The Sausage Deli we all know and love turns 45 this year but before the Sausage Deli was the Sausage Deli, the Sausage Deli was a sausage deli.

Earlier this year, Tucson was listed as one of the “Most Underrated Beer Cities for 2023” and it makes sense why the Old Pueblo made the list.

The story of how the Curry Pot came to be is one of the reasons why our fair desert hamlet is so inviting to anyone willing to make this a better, if not more delicious, place to call home.
Mark WhittakerApr 4, 2023
We visited plenty of local restaurants, bars, pop-ups, and events throughout the month, and now we’re excited to share what we devoured.

The instructions were simple. Wear comfortable shoes, apply sunscreen, and bring your appetite. This was Tucson Food Tours, after all.
