Roosevelt Arts District BY MARGARET DOYLE Spend the Day: PHOENIX & CENTRAL ARIZONA Spend a day strolling the Roosevelt Row Arts District (known as RoRo), nestled in downtown Phoenix. Here you’ll find mural-filled streets lined with galleries, artists’ studios, boutiques and hip restaurants. Morning: Fuel up for the day with Bicycle Mural by Carrie Marill, a cup of fresh-brewed coffee and a Phoenix veggie frittata at 1 Phoenix Public Market Café , where dishes are made with farm-fresh ingredients sourced from the adjacent 2 Open Air Market . The Market, featuring artisan vendors, is open on Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Afternoon: Head to 3 The Churchill , an urban marketplace housing trendy shops, bars and eateries. Be sure to do some people watching in the sprawling courtyard.

And don’t miss 5 Modified Arts , a contemporary art gallery that displays everything from paintings to sculptures. Evening: Swig a craft cocktail and listen to music on the patio at 6 Sazerac PHX , a locally owned neighborhood bar.
