Does Tempe have a pulse? Sitting on Tempe's Front Porch taking in the view made me wonder. Tempe Beach Park with its old school WPA style entrance - left, modern glass laden towers - right, sitting along another question called 'Rio Salado', little bit of Papago and Camelback in the distance, a little hint of palo verde blossom in the foreground - drivers, bikers, and joggers making it all pass-by - made me wonder. Could this be it, what Tempe has tried for as long as I can remember - a pulse? The question was accompanied by NY Strip (Legacy) and Dipping Fries (Marshmallow)... liked it.
Good for Monti's on making this play; taking that space to the next level makes plenty of sense (unlike this review)... Does Tempe have a pulse? Maybe...
