LR_DineAround_email-214x300My friends, Tony Arranaga from Light Rail Blogger, David Bickford of PHX Rail Food and Matthew Petro have partnered with Foodies Like Us to create the first Light Rail Dine Around on July 29th from 5:30 to 9:00pm.

This event will feature courses at three great destinations along the light rail route: appetizers at Hanny’s, a main course at St. Francis and dessert at Smeeks.

To add to the deliciousness of the evening, Tracy Dempsey of Cowboy Ciao, Digestif and Kazimierz fame will be providing ice cream to be topped with candy at Smeeks, and Cartel Coffee Lab will bring some of their delicious brew to pair with the sweets.

Since all destinations for the evening are along the METRO light rail route, they’ll be using it to travel between each restaurant. Attendees are also encouraged to park at one of the many Park & Ride locations and use the light rail to travel to Hanny’s to begin the evening.

You don’t have to be a downtown resident or hardcore foodie to enjoy this evening of culinary delights. If you haven’t been to central Phoenix lately, this is a great opportunity to get up to speed on some of the cool restaurants and businesses that have opened up along the light rail line.


Space is limited, so head over to the Light Rail Dine Around page to purchase your ticket. The cost is $60, which includes all three courses.

Light rail passes are not included in the cost, but can be purchased for only $3.50 at any light rail station.
