Things To Do
Arizona State University
Visit our Alma Mater! Both Jolie and Angel currently both work and live on-campus so visit where their story began and continues to live on! Whether visiting the ASU Sun Devil store for some ASU merch, landmarks like Old Main and the library, or hiking up A mountain, there is something for everyone!
Taco Boy's
With locations all over the valley, Taco Boys is THE TACO SPOT! They have locations in Phoenix, Tempe, Glendale, etc. so stop by if you have extra time for a bite at Angel and his brothers' favorite taco place! We have never been disappointed!
Dreamy Draw Hike Trail
Visit the location of the Culver family's annual Christmas Eve Hike, 14 years running. Beautiful cactus and desert landscape.
Green Restaurant
Grab a bite at our favorite 100% vegan-vegetarian restaurant that masters all favorite comfort foods! They have such a great menu and selection!
Copper Star Coffee
Our favorite coffee/bagel place is nothing short of PERFECTION! Jolie's all-time favorite bagel, the Frankenstein (jalapeño cheddar/everything) with pesto cream cheese!
Changing Hands Bookstore & First Draft Book Bar
What's better than a bookstore? A Bookstore nestled in between a beer bar and a cafe restaurant! If you are staying at Rise Uptown with us, this is right next door!
Phoenix Art Museum
Jolie's high school prom location and our favorite museum in all of Phoenix! We luv and endorse <3
Salt & Straw
Some of the best and most unique ice cream flavors we've ever had. HIGHLY recommend, we're very serious if you have never tried you MUST. They just opened up a brand new location right across from Rise Uptown for those of you staying there!
Zia Records (Bethany Home - Phoenix)
Amazing vibes with records, knick knacks, clothes, and collectibles. The hours we've spent at Zia's across the valley need to be studied. Jolie has built her Smiski collection thanks to Zia <3
