✽ Arts & crAfts
Shops with an arts and crafts orientation can be found all over Tucson, and especially in the Lost Barrio, featuring furniture and international imports; at Old Town Artisans, where the focus is on jewelry, pottery and Mexican folk art; and at the semiannual Fourth Avenue Street Fair, which fills Tucson’s main downtown drag with hundreds of artisans showcasing their wares. In Tubac, more than 100 galleries and studios line the town’s Spanish-style plazas and meandering streets, and the work of high-quality crafters is well represented in Bisbee and Patagonia.
O ffb e at a Z
Located at a Y-shaped crossroad near Ajo, the tiny town of Why probably got its coy moniker in the 1950s, when the US Postal Service was handing out zip codes, and required every place that wanted one to have a minimum of three letters in its name.

MexicAn food
You can see the influence from the days when Southern Arizona was still a part of the cattle-ranching lands of northern Mexico in the down-home, ranchero-style menus of many local Mexican restaurants. Geographical proximity to the state of Sonora, Mexico, also explains why Sonoran hot dogs, which give the American ballpark classic a spicy spin, can be found all around Tucson. But the area’s chefs also draw on recipes from other parts of Mexico, including its big cities, so you’ll find plenty of sophisticated places where the tastes are complex and the tequila is for sipping, not knocking back. And some classic restaurants create their own dishes. Tucson’s El Charro (opened 1922) claims to have introduced the chimichanga when a burrito accidentally fell into the deep fryer, while Wisdom’s Café (1944) in Tumacacori cites a similar genesis for its fruit chimichangas.
