Downtown Does Cinco de Mayo

Wednesday, May 5th, 2010

How are you celebrating the Mexican army’s unlikely victory over the French in the Battle of Puebla?

CincoAs I’m sure you’re well aware, it’s Cinco de Mayo, which is a very big deal in Phoenix and there’s no shortage of events to help you party like it’s May 5, 1862.

One of Downtown’s oldest restaurants, The Matador, is offering a wide array of food and drink specials all day long, plus a special happy hour in the lounge from 4-7 p.m. that includes free appetizers.

Mi Amigos over at Arizona Center is offering $2.50 drinks from 3-6 p.m., plus some of the best Mexican food you’ll find in the urban core.

One of the day’s more clever events happening in Central Phoenix is Cinco de Mustache at Sidebar. Sure, there will be drink specials galore, plus music from DJs Tricky T, Jared Allen and Sean Watson, but people are no doubt coming out to see the ’staches.

If you want to get your Cinco fix at lunch, America’s Taco Shop  (Coronado or Melrose) is offering $1.75 tacos all day long, plus chips and salsa for 50 cents.

Later, the all-new Ghost Lounge at Hotel San Carlos is debuting their Caliente Cinco de Mayo with DJ Danny Boy spinning Latin and Salsa hits, plus great drink specials 4 p.m. to close.

Los Suns take on the reviled Spurs tonight in Game 2 of the Western Conference semifinals at US Airways Center. No tickets? Head over to Majerle’s or Coach & Willie’s for their watch parties and feast on superior hoops grub!

In the event you’re stuck at work all day, impatiently waiting for 4:52 p.m. so you can dash to the pub and crack your first Corona, here’s a Cinco de Mayo playlist courtesy of MTV.  

(”They still play videos on MTV?” asks the old man, rhetorically.)

Have a safe and happy Cinco de Mayo!

Your Guide to Downtown Fun

Monday, May 3rd, 2010

Although the wind was rough, the weekend was gorgeous. I hoped everyone enjoyed it. There is a great deal to enjoy this week, so let’s get started.

The Cinco De Mayo Festival came and went but there’s no reason not to continue celeberating the culture that’s so important to our Southwest identity. The Matador Mexican Restaurant and Mi Amigos have festivities sure to engage you in the revelry.

RattlersThe Suns continue their march to the Finals by hosting the arch-rival Spurs in Games 1 and 2 of the Western Conference semifinals at US Airways Center. No tickets for tonight’s Game 1? No problem! Head over to Majerle’s or Coach & Willie’s and watch the game with your closest Orange friends.  

By the end of the week the Diamondbacks will have fans cheering at Chase Field, playing the Brewers. The Brewers have a pair of super sluggers in Ryan Braun and Prince Fielder so expect some high-scoring affairs.

Need more sports? Head over to US Airways Center Friday night and watch the Rattlers take on the Spokane Shock.

The theater crowd will be happy this week with three shows at the Herberger Theater, one of which is by the famous comedy troupe Second City. With alums like Bill Murray and Gilda Radner, I was more than curious to see what they came up with, and I was laughing all the way to the end. They took cracks at all the little quirks that make Arizona unique, and it was refreshing to see what we look like from an outside point of view. Absolutely hilarious!
