Problem: Press Coffee is a great Sat/Sun morning stop. My boyfriend and I had a lazy day several weeks ago and stopped in. I had a chai latte and he had a smoothie for our "breakfast". Both were very good! I love a good chai latte and it is difficult to find a place the serves the right blend of spicy and sweet (most are made way too sweet for my taste). I think their chai tea rivaled my favorite in NYC. Then it was on to the "lunch" portion (hey, I said it was a lazy day). We each ordered sandwiches which were both tasty. They have an outdoor patio and the windows are open for nice weather. I love having a local coffee shop nearby to support!

Problem: HEALTH IS HAPPINESS The Peccole Ranch Walking Trail (PRWT) is an unsigned Summerlin trail system in the neighborhood bounded by Hualapai Way to the west, Charleston Boulevard to the north, Fort Apache Avenue to the east, and Sahara Avenue to the south. After experiencing PRWT, I see it as three connected concrete trails winding through a continuous linear park. Trail 1 starts at Hualapai Way to the west which is 0.4 miles north of Sahara Avenue. A tunnel carries it under Grand Canyon Drive. After intersecting with a spur trail, it heads northeast. A second tunnel carries it under Red Hills Drive. Leaving the tunnel it parallels Apple Drive up to it concludes at Trail 2 near Charleston Boulevard. This is the physical fitness trail. Fitness stations with cooresponding descriptive signs adorn the parkscape. They include a vertical ladder, chinning bars, and squat-stretch bench. If health is happiness, this is the trail to happiness. Trail 2 runs south of the commercial and residential development along Charleston Boulevard from Hualapai Way to a couple hundred feet east of the Apple Drive tunnel. Trail 2 weaves through a linear disk golf course. Trail 3 is the spur trail off Trail 1, which continues the due-east direction of PRWT past a surface crossing with Preakness Pass to the easternmost point at Fort Apache Road. In late November, I spent a couple of hours enjoying an adventure on PRWT. It reminded me of its sister linear parks in Summerlin: The Pueblo Park and Cottonwood Canyon. However, there were a few characteristics that separated PRWT from its sister linear parks. In comparison, it is a more compressed space bordered by walls instead of larger homes up on hills; with the exception of the trail east of Preakness Pass, the landscape is golf course green grass; and parking lots are nonexistent. My adventures along PRWT color me impressed. Graffiti is nonexistent. Mature pine trees and colorful trees that left sprinklets of fallen leaves on golf course green grass attracted birds. Birds were everywhere. Many of the adjacent backyards have humingbird feeders. The white concrete trail is a work of art that gently weaved between the bordering walls of the linear park and under picturesque tunnels. Green streetlamps complimented the parkscape. The gentle inclines added texture to the trail. And the fitness stations are a celebration of good health. This is an unadvertised trail. Signing and parking lots are nonexistent. My advice is to park at either the Sahara West Library parking lot or Hualapai Commons Shopping Center anchored by Smith's at the southeast corner of Charleston and Hualapai. To reach PRWT from the Sahara West Library, you will walk north on Grand Canyon Drive for 0.4 miles until you reach the overpass. The Hualapai Commons is adjacent to PRWT. Both parking lots are a relatively short distance east of the 215. After spending a couple of hours exploring PRWT I felt uplifted and a few pounds lighter than when I came into the trail. I felt healthy! As the sign says on the fitness trail "health is happiness. " And because this is the season of giving, I want to give people happiness by recommending an adventure on the Peccole Ranch Walking Trail.

Problem: We reserved a table during Reataurant Week and were told by our concierge that Alize was a participant in the Restaurant Week program of which a three course meal could be purchased from a special select menu for $50 per person. When we were seated we told our waiter why we were there and he acted like he understood. When we were done our bill was $360 for my husband and I. When we questioned the waiter he responded that we only ask about the program and didn't specify that was what we wanted....we feel that he knew what we wanted he just saw an opportunity and took advantage of it. If you choose to eat there beware of unexpected charges from waiters without integrity. The quality of food was good but not as good as Mesa Grill where we enjoyed dinner the next night where they were a proud participant of the Restaurant Week.

Problem: Everyone here was beyond helpful and friendly, the owner/manager was in on his day-off, chatting up the customers in a very appealing way...killer lunch special- 2 HUGE slices of cheese AND a drink for $5 between 11AM-4PM (so it's like your drink is for free compared to normal prices)...I took a bite of my piping hot slice of pepperoni, and instantly fell in love. Best NY Style slice in Northeast Phoenix...if not in ALL of Phoenix. I can't Can't CAN'T wait to come back here and try some more of the awesomeness that they provide. (Also, they have a 14in. Gluten Free Cheese pizza for $14...that's 4in larger than Domino's, and about the same price, and the quality is MUCH MUCH better.)
