Durant's
2611 N. Central Ave. - Phoenix602-264-5967
If the guys in 'Mad Men' visited Arizona, they probably would have eaten at Durant's. Big steaks and martinis are the staples at this decades-old eatery.
The Art of Soup Cafe
2329 N. Seventh St. - Phoenix602-257-4609
The interior is bare-bones and the menu only offers four soups each day, but what soups. All are organic and broth based, plus salads and smoothies.
Switch
2603 N. Central Ave. - Phoenix602-264-2295
From the people who brought the Valley Fez and Ticoz, Switch goes for a clean and upscale style. Sandwiches, crepes, paninis and “big burgers” are among the staples.
Drip Coffee Lounge
2325 N. Seventh St. - Phoenix602-795-9905
Drip Coffee Lounge brings some urban flair to central Phoenix, with its sleek white and orange decor, trendy utensils and dishes, and hip, friendly staff. Stop in for breakfast or lunch, made with fresh, organic ingredients. Popular dishes include the Egg N-A Hole ($6.50), an organic egg in toast with asparagus spears and bacon; and the Cream Cheese and Nutella Panini ($4.50), a sweet lunchtime indulgence. And, staying true to its name, Drip offers a full coffee bar in addition to teas and sodas. Be sure to stop by on the third Saturday of every month for a night of local acoustic musicians.
