"Dining choices are plentiful these days in Downtown, but stopping in at the Blue Hound Kitchen & Cocktails is an easy decision. A part of the Kimpton Hotel Palomar Phoenix, the location combines a local feel with a selection probably not found at a typical neighborhood joint. Snack on the pao de queijo, a light Brazilian cheese bread, spread with espelette butter or the Holey Moley flatbread dotted with elk jalapeno sausage. And for something truly spectacular, order the Net of the Sea, which is exactly what it sounds like, made out of puff pastry and stuffed with just about every seafood." - Asonta Benetti
