Colorado Sprung (3)

All of the amazing places COS offered me.

Sassy; Sexy; Scottsdale. (6)

Don't let its' reputation fool you, Scottsdale is still home to some amazing places sans the pretensions. Ignore the plastics, imbibe heartily, and enjoy your surroundings!

Grouptastic (9)

Places to go if you are dining with 6 or more friends.

Couldn't Yelp Without (5)

The few places I found on Yelp, and now can't live without.

MexiCAN I Has It Again?! (2)

I love Mexican food, and growing up in California means I 1) have a lot of it, and 2) have a lot of options for it. This list includes a few places I would return to again and again.

The Besta' Vista (4)

Vista isn't just for (micro)softies. There are some gems in this town, and these are my favorites acquired during my 18 years of childhood residency.
