Downtown Tempe — Attraction in Tempe

Pros: -A Mountain (aka Tempe Butte) is a nice spot to get your cardio in! -Nearby, there is also the Tempe Town Lake to walk by or kayak/pedal-boat on. The bridges spanning the lake are colorfully lit at night. One of them has beautiful rainbow lighting. I'd reccomend going there in the early morning or evening time to avoid the crowds. -It can be fun to people watch and sight see the stores and restaurants. It's a lot to take in. However, I personally don't like too much hustle-bustle, so I would reccomend going in the morning.

Cons: -Some areas are just to crowded with stores and restaurants. It's so densely packed. -Some restaurants don't have off-street parking, so be prepared to shell out some money for parking as well. (Or if they do have off-street parking, the lots are super small, so you may just have to find another spot to park). -Don't try to parallel park here at night. It's just too busy on the streets and instead, I would just reccomend going to find a parking garage nearby and walk to your destination.

Tips: Best parking spot is the Mission Palms North Lot. While other places charge you $6 an hour, this lot charges $2 an hour. The downside is there...

This is a very exciting and dynamic district in Tempe. I actually met an astronaut Robert Lee Hoot Gibson here in Nov 2016. Nypd pizza is delicious, Spinneli's stays open till about 4am, and shopping is also nice at places like Buffalo Exchange and Urban Outfitters.

So much to do and see. The majority of folks a hard working college students that enjoy meeting others and making new connections. Great place to network or just hang out and look around, either way you won't be bored. Also if you are new in town and need help the city has alot of resorces and unlike mosy places they go the extra mile as long as you willing to do the same for yourself. Great city, Great people and I'll never forget how much...
