Greetings!
As a cab driver, a lot of passengers ask me for information about where to eat, or for my recommendations. This newsletter is the result of shared information and personal experience, driven by my passion for not only the great food scene in this town, but for Tucson in general. I hope you find this effort useful, and perhaps it helps you to experience something new and different. Please feel free to share this newletter with your friends as well. |
