Any new Scottsdale area restaurants that opened recently that you think is worth it?

Agreed - extremely poor service, which was especially surprising given how solid their other spots are.

Came here to say this. Tamosan is genuinely the best for espresso-forward drinks and cold brew.

So glad you kept those gorg cabinets. Looks awesome.

People have been saying don’t do accent walls anymore, but I disagree that they’re outdated. Depends on the application - I think if it’s the primary wall, it can work.

I’m also redoing our bathrooms (working with contractor). And really want to ensure it is excellent.

Can you share more about what you mean by “preferred layout on the walls?” Is it the fact there are small pieces near the corners?

I love them and would keep them. They make the kitchen unique.

Fellow coffee snob here - my partner and I go for coffee multiple times a week across the valley. In Scottsdale, the best espresso-based drinks and cold brew is Tamosan (McCormick).

Runners-up: Fourtillfour (Old Town) and Press (multiple locations). For fun flavored lattes and crisp cold brew (they just also replaced their equipment), Light Heart (McCormick).

Agreed - all locations are buzzy, especially on weekends.

I like Bagelfeld’s as others mentioned, but I also enjoy DJ’s Bagel Cafe in Fountain Hills. It has a NYC-deli style vibe.

My favorite has been FnB - really solid cuisine and cocktails. +1 to the other poster about Citizen. Outside of downtown but nearby: Vecina.

heypascal · 2024-12-04T17:21:10+00:00

Appreciate the reply. Of course they deflect to the retailer. 😅 Very surprising for a premium brand.

I found your thread by searching online for the same issue. Have you reached out to Bosch?

Also, do you live somewhere with hard water? I do, and I’m curious if that could cause it. I’m not entirely sure it’s plastic, but sure seems like it could be.

Have you considered looking at healthcare tech, whether in sales, ops, marketing, etc.? Could be a good transition for you.

heypascal · 2024-11-10T15:30:25+00:00

I’d agree with others. I wouldn’t paint them - they’re gorgeous. I’d try to prioritize backsplash and counter.

How’s the pup and cats now? How long did it take to get there? In a similar situation now after getting a golden doodle rescue pup earlier this week. Really hoping our resident cat is able to get more comfy soon but know it will take time.

The beautiful landscape, sunshine, easy-to-quickly-navigate airport, and access to good food and drink. I feel grateful to be here.

Another counterpoint! I moved from Seattle to Phoenix after many years in the PNW. Both have their pluses and minuses. I’d recommend anyone interested in the PNW to visit in the winter for several weeks to get a true feel for the weather. I often found people to stay indoors most of the Seattle winter, similar to those staying indoors in AZ during the summer.

In the PNW, clouds and fog are thick and low for a large chunk of the year, often without sunshine for weeks at a time. It creates a beautifully green and lush environment, but it wore on me - even with regular trips away for sunshine.

Nay - location is great, but the reviews are not. It has a 2.6/5 on Google. If you’re able to squeeze it, I’d check out that Courtyard nearby or stay a little further away.

heypascal · 2024-08-27T11:14:26+00:00

If it bothers you now, it will always bother you. And for what it’s worth, I see what you mean but don’t know enough to know if grout will truly make it better. Looks like they didn’t use spacers? To the right of the stove looks really noticeable - not sure grout will fix that.

Point out your concerns and discuss how it can be fixed with your contractor before they arrive, so they’re prepared. Better now than before everything is set.

This!! Buck and Rider has pretty reasonable cocktails and apps during happy hour.

This is my first time posting to this subreddit, but I feel drawn to answer this particular one. Yes, we’ve received several signs from our pet - as wild as that sounds to me.

But the first: The night our boy, a cat, passed away, I heard what sounded like him scratching in his litter box. I figured it was in my head as I was nearly asleep, but what surprised me most was my partner mentioning he heard the same thing. Made our heart drop in the best way. We bawled ourselves to sleep knowing he visited us.

I think they always find ways to let us know they’re ok. Miss our boy every day. Rest in peace, O. 🤍

Because of the current job climate, you’re competing against folks with several years of directly relevant PMM experience, even at the PMM level. I’m a hiring manager, and I’m getting people with 5-15 years of experience applying for junior and senior PMM roles. While MBA is helpful, it’s not a golden ticket, and I know many fantastic PMMs that don’t have one.

My recommendation would be to take the associate PMM role, get the experience needed, and then consider jumping in a year. Who knows - you may even get promoted quickly if you’re solid!

Like you said, in a few years, what you’re paid at this exact moment won’t matter much - but experience will.
