Restaurants
There is a bicycle for use (back bedroom). My recommendation: go up Robinson to Gilbert, use the bike lanes on Gilbert, turn right and downtown is about 20 mins, turn left a number of cool restaurants are about 10 mins straight down Gilbert (Ki Mexico; MP; Lowders bakery; Counterculture frozen yoghurt)
Restaurants Bars etc: Fat Calf Brasserie (5 mins by car from the house or 10 mins easy ride by bike. I eat here practically every night. Also has good cocktails and wines. Good idea to make reservations); Havana Cigar Bar; Superior Steak house (upmarket); Korner Bar (downtown, gay bar)
