"Smoothies are made quick and fresh. But for lunch, grab a warm chicken parmesan sandwich. Their chips are coated with great taste. And it's independently owned. Quality, quick option for ASU students"

"MacAlpine's has been around for almost 85 years. They've seen Phx through it all! Good old-school malt? Chocolate malted crunch shake with cherries. A perfect summer stop off 7th St. on way home."

"Is the candy pricey? Yes. But it's local. It's a Glendale family tradition. Don't hold back! The mints are the centerpiece. And check out the chocolate pizzas at the Chocolate Affaire in Feb. in Glen."

"This is the entrance to the best ferry in NYC. Governor's Island is open on the weekends & somehow a beautiful secret in the city. Ample green space with quaint old shops and a special hot dog stand."

"Not an extremely laborious hike to partake on. The first leg is a steep incline but nice for everyone from there on. When get to top, go around radio towers for terrific view looking south."

"There's no better ballpark with view of NYC and water. Sit in seats up near the top of the sections. You can't see the water as well if you're too close. And their mascot is super kid friendly."
