Phoenix Public Market Cafe.

We are exploring the new, up and coming or otherwise unique and interesting neighborhoods around the Valley in an occasional segment we are calling the "Hot Corner."

This time, food writer Gwen Ashley Walters helped us explore a hot corner with an international flare. Leave your passport but bring your appetite! It's First and Pierce Streets in Phoenix.

We want to know what’s cool about your neighborhood. Email us at [email protected].
