#1030 - Trader Vics, Scottsdale, AZ - 3/19/2010

I love Trader Vic's, of course, and this particular visit had the benefits of being on the patio on a warm March night in Scottsdale, where the ubiquitous scents of jasmine and fire pits make the evenings all the more pleasant.  Also, this one is associated with the swanky Hotel Valley Ho, which makes a fine additional stop.

#1027 - American Junkie, Scottsdale, AZ - 3/18/2010

This is a sports bar combined with punk rock images (Iggy, Nirvana, etc.) and overly sweet cocktails that appear to have been designed for 13-year-olds.
