Arizona is known for its beautiful hikes and October is the perfect month for hiking! Here is a list of popular hikes near the venue!
One of our favorite local breweries is Four Peaks! They have some of the best food and beers around so highly recommend checking it out while you are in town!
We absolutely LOVE Mexican food and we always make it a point to go to Nando's when we are home! There are multiple locations across the valley but this is closest to the venue. COME HUNGRY because their portions are massive. Daniel's favorite is the El Jefe Chimichnga Jenn loves the Red Chile Chicken Enchiladas Their cheese crisps are also to die for. Note: For all the spicy fans out there, their hot salsa is incredible. For the spicy fanatics, try their habanero salsa. (They won't even bring this out to the table unless you ask for it!)
You didn't think we'd only recommend one Mexican food spot, did you?!? Los Favs is a staple and great if you are looking for a fast food option. Our favorites from here are usually the breakfast burritos. Jenn gets machaca burrito and Daniel gets the chorizo. If you're a late riser, their California Asada burrito is also an excellent choice. All options are great when recovering from a late night... There are locations all across the valley but this is close to the venue!
Angry Crab brings the best of the bayou to Arizona. Their crab boils come to your table in a massive steaming bag of fresh seafood. Shrimp, crab, mussels, sausage, corn, and potatoes are optional. Trifecta seasoning, plastic bibs, medical gloves, and trashing the tablecloth are not.
We are aware some people think In-N-Out is overrated... but most of these people didn't get an invite to the wedding! If you want to be a true local, order your burger or fries "animal style." It comes with grilled onions, cheese, and secret sauce (aka thousand island). For the extremely hungry, you can also order a 3x3, 4x4, or 5x5. That's 3 patties meat and cheese, etc, etc.
Old Town is a great spot for Brunch! We love the Breakfast Club and Montauk. If you're looking for a more boozy brunch, we also love Maple and Ash or R&R.
If you want to revisit Jenn's old stomping grounds, check out Mill Ave next to ASU's main Tempe campus. Get yourself a bucket at CASA, a Long Island Iced Tea at Cue Club, or a Marg at El Hefe.
