We just got back home after spending a month in Phoenix, Arizona. We were temporary snowbirds, escaping the January blues of Oklahoma for the warmer desert terrain. During our stay, we discovered several 'home away from home' spots – the kind of places you only find when you're there for a while. Whether you're planning a visit to the Phoenix area or are a local yourself, I hope this list helps you discover a new place or two!
