To do: Pima Air and Space Museum is not too far away, Desert Museum is about 25 minutes but is also interesting. Titan Missle Museum and Karchner Caverns are a drive but well worth the windshield time.
To eat: Cafe Poca Cosa in downtown is really good, El Charro, also downtown is not bad. Try Bisonwiches for a sandwich or there is a decent Vietnamese whole in the wall east of campus. There a few fun bars along University on the west side of campus for a beer or to watch the local talent. |

+1 for Guero Canelo.
What kind of chow are you looking for? Fine Dining? Casual? Local fast food places? |

Which part of town?
1. Casa Molina on Speedway since 1936. Mexican, sit in round room in back under the poster of Matador Diego o Bolger and say Hey, he's a member of AR15.com 2. Pinnacle Peak on Tanque Verde. Western 3 Vivace on North Campbell 3-4 star and one of my snooty favorites. The eggplant is superb . . 4. .Kazoku Japanese on Speedway. 5. Fronimos Greek on Speedway. 6. Kingfisher- seafood, really excellent but on a slightly shitty part of town. (near my brothers house) Grant Road. |

Downtown you must go to:
El Charo - A Tucson legend. Their carne seca is amazing La Poca Cosa - Oaxacan food to die for. Has to be experienced to believe.

The Little One (formerly Little Café Poca Cosa), not snobby like the other one. The chipotle pork is the best. Only open M-F

Eegees for fast food sandwiches, they are famous for their slushy thing called an eegee.

Mi Nidito, the barria taco's are fantastic. Presidents plate is a lot of food and good
El Guero Canello for Sonoran dogs. Anything wrapped with bacon is always good Bisonwitches on 4th Avenue for good sandwiches Mosaic Café has good food and a nice view of Tucson, especially at night Pinnacle Peak on Tanque Verde Oregano's on Speedway and on N. Oracle. Personally like the Speedway location better but they are both good. Eegee's, fast food, make sure you try an Eegee;s flavor of the month and the fries with ranch dressing. |

I must be the only person in Tucson that doesn't appreciate eegee's. Everyone is crazy about them. I tried 3 times, 3 locations and found I could get the same grub at any gas station in the country.
But to each their own! Bisonwiches is great. On the topic of sandwiches, The Sausage Shop (commonly mistake for Sausage Deli, which is great on it's own) on Prince and Columbia has some of the best sandwiches I've ever had in the country - and I'm a sandwich guy. I can't leave their little shop without spending $50+ dollars. Stop in for a sandwich, leave with a grocery bag of deli meats, cheese and sausages. I love the old school, bloody butcher's apron deli counter experience. Plus they process game. |

I'm with you on eegees, extremely overrated and the eegees drink is just a slushy with fruit pieces in it. |

PS: If you feel your grease levels getting low, stop by Lucky Wishbone. Amazing fried chicken. And breakfasts at Robert's are worth the trip. Homemade cinnamon rolls with melted butter on the side. Need I say more? |

Bison Witches on 4th Ave.
Hi Fi on Congress has a killer pretzel (and beers). Lots of new places on Congress worth checking out. Park at Maloneys and grab a beer on 4th and start walking. Right in the center of the campus area is Gentle Bens Brewing and Frog and Firking. Lots of other good places too for pub crawling and snacking. |

I just went to Bison Witches and it was awesome. Make sure you get the soup in bread bowl combo and salad combo.
