Food scene
Postino is hands down my favorite restaurant in the Phoenix area. Wine and bruschetta boards...what more could you need?

Hiking
If you're looking for a hike with views, look no further than Camelback Mountain. The hike from the "head" of the Camel on Echo Canyon Trail is shorter, but much steeper. Cholla Trail winds up the "end" of the Camel.
Note: this hike is EXTREMELY popular. I recommend getting an Uber or Lyft to the trailhead, as parking is notoriously hard to come by.
DON'T FORGET WATER! If you're visiting between the months of March and October, getting up the mountain early, early in the morning is strongly advised. Temps in the late spring/summer/early fall can hit 100ºF by 9AM some days.

My favorite hike in the Scottsdale area. Sees some traffic, but nothing like the other peaks like Camelback or Piestewa. Reasonably doable for all ages.
