In a little over a year, CityScape has become a magnet for local culinary A-listers and beloved national restaurant chains.
The strength of the mixed-use development’s pull has never been more evident than with the imminent openings of three more eateries.
Popular Old Town Scottsdale breakfast and lunch spot The Breakfast Club will open across from Gold’s Gym Elite, between Tilted Kilt and the under construction Kimpton Palomar Hotel, on Nov. 14. In addition to the gargantuan waffles, pancakes, and omelets, The Breakfast Club will also serve up specialty coffee drinks from an adjoining barrista bar.
“Fast casual” Italian restaurant The Strand (picture, left) will sling sandwiches, pasta, salads, and Italian fry bread from the corner of Jefferson and 1st Street starting in mid-November. The concept comes from Jimmy Carlin and Maven Hospitality Group, the same folks responsible for Blue Wasabi and The Cajun House. The Strand will be open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and will also feature beer, wine, plus Bellinis, a popular Venice-born frozen drink that combines sparkling wine and peach puree.
And on Dec. 6, Chipotle will open one of five new Valley locations directly across from Jimmy John’s and Five Guys on the corner of Washington and 1st Avenue.

Of course Patriot’s Square has since been redeveloped as a part of CityScape and light rail buzzes by Chase Field, a new convention center, and US Airways Center.
Located on the lobby level of the 101 North Building [US Bank tower] on First Avenue and Adams Street, Health Coach’s track record of excellence can be attributed to knowledgeable chiropractors Dr. Judson Lee and Dr. Daron Stegall, physical therapist Jessica Ryder, caring massage therapists and razor sharp office managers.
The annual PARK(ing) Day event was born in 2005 by Rebar, a San Francisco-based art and design studio. According to a release by organizer Stacey Champion, creator of the sustainability group Rogue Green, “PARK(ing) Day challenges people to rethink the way streets are used and reinforces the need for broad-based changes to urban infrastructure.”
Mayor Phil Gordon and Phoenix City Councilman Michael Johnson are scheduled to attend the kickoff event.
