Bangkok Cafe
2511 E Speedway BlvdGreat Thai food. A little pricey, but really good!
It's a Greek dive, but delicious. The owner is like the soup Nazi on Seinfeld. He can be gruff, but if you can get past it, you'll love the food. Maybe that's not fair, sometimes he's a pussy cat. It all depends on the day. If I were you, I'd take my chances and enjoy whatever comes.

Off the beaten path and way down on the Southside. But if you're feeling adventurous, try the Crossroads. It's one of my favorite Mexican restaurants. I've been going there since the '80s.

City/town information
This little town is a hidden gem. It's an artists' community. And there's a great golf course and birdwatching down there too. The best-kept secret in Tubac, however, is the newly opened Tubac Ranch, 80 Kenyon Ranch Rd, Tubac, 85646. Ask me about it.

It's a hike to the top. But what a view. There are no roads in this wilderness area as evidence of there being more bears and mountain lions in the Rincons than anywhere else in the lower 48 states. Don't worry though, they're more afraid of you. Go for it!

Raging Safe Coffee Roasters just might be Tucson’s oldest specialty cafe having been on the scene for over two decades and going strong. The beans here are hand-roasted on site and guests can choose to purchase a bag of their beans too. It's the closest, most awesome coffee house close to the Zendo. I love this place.
