| - It's a great bazaar of locally owned shops in a very unique mall. The Biltmore has been reinventing itself and the Union is a great start.
For clothes horse like myself, check out Bonafide Goods. This shop carries Billy Reid, New England Shirt Company, an edited assortment of raw denim, and kick ass bow ties (that my lovely girlfriend bought for me). The staff here is very friendly, knowledgeable and just awesome.
For a bite to eat, check out Trattoria del Piero. Get the Kalamata sandwich and ask that the bread not be pressed; you will not regret it. Afterwards, go to the Whoopi Pie station right next door for dessert; again, you will not regret this.
The Union also features some awesome home shops, boutiques for the fairer sex, a sunglass shop, and sweet bike shop. Lastly, it also has a magazine stand that could use more of a selection (get the Economist!).
In all, I give this place 5 stars for making shopping in Phoenix better, for having unique shops that are locally owned, and for just having a sweet atmosphere. You will not regret coming to this mini bazaar.
