Old Town Scottsdale (aka Downtown Scottsdale) is a centralized district that offers a wide selction of boutique shops that peddle souvenirs, jewelry with a Southwestern flair, and trinkets of all sorts. Walking through, we noticed there were a handful of art galleries for tourist to browse or purchase unique pieces. In addition to the shopping, OTS offers a variety of restaurants, bars, and clubs to entertain you from anything like a Sunday brunch to a night on the town. Albeit a touristy area, it was still a wonderful area to walk around with the dogs and enjoy the parks and flowers on a warm December afternoon.
My husband and I visited this area specifically to enjoy a stroll with the pups and to grab breakfast after our hike. There were a handful of dog friendly restaurants with patios for us to choose from. We enjoyed our breakfast and took in the sights during our walk. It was hustling and bustling during our visit since it was around a holiday. It is worth a stop to check the area out for their various dining opportunities and walk around,
