LOVE SW food and fusion, really good "local fare" and will be staying at The Clarendon Hotel downtown Phoenix. WIll be eating alone most nights and like to sit at a bar when I do that - any recommendations? Really don't care too much about price, but do NOT want "pissy/uptight" place and would prefer a good place to people watch, gay patrons, etc.

Thanks!

Staying in CC and will be eating alone on Tues and Wed. Love to find a really good restaurant where I can sit at the bar and eat. Does NOT need to be "fancy", but LOVE interesting food, small portions (tapas-like??) and an interesting clientel (as in - NOT suited, pretty young, hip, gay/straight mix, etc!) Also, a good martini is ALWAYS apreciated! Will not have car, so walking/easy cab or train is best! Thanks!! warklu@aol.com
