The 47th annual New Times Best of Phoenix® hits newsstands and the internet today.

Friends, the staff of Phoenix New Times has once again done the impossible. Our crew of intrepid writers and artists have scoured the Valley for the finest examples of what our home has to offer, whether you’re eating, shopping or simply living large, to produce our annual Best of Phoenix issue.

This year’s Best of Phoenix is ludicrously ambitious: 304 pages of newsprint, stuffed with 500 individual items. (Do I need to mention that this special issue, like everything else we produce, is free for our readers? Seriously, we love y’all.)

This year’s theme, “Destination: Phoenix,” evokes the golden age of travel — and the abundance of surprises and delights that pepper the greater metropolitan area. The vastness and variety of Phoenix give all of us the chance to see our home city through the eyes of a visitor. All we have to do is get out there and explore.
