Something to Do

Summer Travel Omnibus

From epic Airbnbs, to ballpark pilgrimages, to a paranormal tour of the Southwest, the May-June issue of PHOENIX is a tall, icy glass of summer travel refreshment. First up is associate editor Maddie Rutherford’s “The Great Arizona Airbnb” feature, spotlighting the poshest Airstreams, coolest swimming pools, most idyllic mountain cabins and otherwise best spots for short-term vacationing in the state. Then it’s off to Wyoming for “Beasts of the Teton,” a guide for animal-watching wonderment in Jackson Hole. The road trip continues with “The Black Chip Diaries,” writer Tom Zoellner’s gonzo-esque, first-hand account of a weekend barnstorming tour of all 26 Arizona tribal casinos; the “Arizona Diamondbacks Summer Road Trip Guide,” with detailed itineraries for five D-Backs road stands this summer; and, finally, “Supernatural Southwest,” a travelogue of haunted hotels, purported UFO landing spots and other uncanny locales throughout Arizona, Nevada and New Mexico from writer Jessica Dunham. Five travel features in all—plenty to last you through August.

Someone to Know

Lauren Bailey

“We became passionate about historic buildings and adaptive reuse pretty early on,” Upward Projects co-founder and CEO Lauren Bailey tells managing editor Madison Rutherford in this issue’s local business profile. “It would be like, ‘We have this building. What are we going to put in it?’ It was the opposite of how most people build their companies.” That ethos–and appreciation for good bones—led Bailey to get involved in historic preservation efforts in the Valley. “These buildings make these neighborhoods special,” she says. “They tell their stories and identify them. If you have a bunch of brand-new architecture, it doesn’t capture the essence and character.” Bailey’s not done with her architectural activism. “There are unbelievable people in this community with a lot of passion, knowledge and connections,” she says. “Sometimes we just get disjointed when they’re not all together in one room.”

Something to Eat

Le Âme

“How are we supposed to pronounce this inaccurately spelled French phrase?” dining critic Nikki Buchanan muses at the outset of her review of Sam Fox’s new Parisian steakhouse at The Global Ambassador hotel. “Luh ah-may? Lay ah-may? Lah-may? I’ve heard it all three ways.” Having thus vented, Buchanan gets down to the matter at hand: A nearly unqualified rave review of a “terrific restaurant” that “runs so smoothly it hums.” Fox leans hard into French classics at the  eatery, and Buchanan leans right back, reserving special enthusiasm for a beet and frisée salad, which delivers a “textural bonanza that flashes sweet, salty, earthy and bitter flavors,” and the “fantastic” steak frites, a juicy flatiron “charred at the edges and topped with a melting medallion of herbaceous Café de Paris butter.” Describing Le Âme as perhaps her favorite Fox offering in the restaurateur’s nearly three-decade career, Buchanan concedes “the food is not cutting edge… but it’s beautifully plated and flawlessly executed, which is enough for me.” Find her reviews of four other new Valley restaurants in this month’s Eat Beat section. “The correct way to say it is lahm, for what it’s worth,” she adds.
