Build an Old Town day around The Poisoned Pen Bookstore and Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art. The bookstore's author calendar can help you plan a special visit; SMoCA's changing exhibitions make its current visitor information the place to start before heading over.
FnB, The Mission's Old Town location, and Citizen Public House give you three different dinner options: seasonal Arizona ingredients, modern Latin cooking, and New American fare. Review the menus and reserve directly with the restaurant that suits the group.
Choose the main cultural stop before fixing your meal time. Check the city's current parking information and the venue's visitor details rather than relying on an old event listing or assuming every stop has identical operating hours.
