Bill Johnson's neon sign (Photo credit: Kathie Moffett)

So as they exclaim at Bill Johnson’s Big Apple… “Let’s eat!”  Yep, it’s Arizona Restaurant Week, and we encourage you to take family, friends, and associates out and about as many times as you can (whether in central Phoenix or not). Here is Local First Arizona’s statewide dining guide and downloadable Small Wonders brochure (one for Phoenix and one for Tempe).

For those of you of legal drinking age there are alcoholic beverages named after our fair city (or the bird) — the Phoenix and Phoenix Paradise — along with one named after the 48th State, which would be, you guessed it, Arizona.   Then for one and all, there’s AriZona Iced Tea (founded in Brooklyn, NY… go figure).

If you know of other Phoenix or Arizona named food-related things, feel free to leave a comment!
