8. A few dining suggestions:  My favorite burger place in the world is Relish, on site at the Phoenician.  Get the tater tots with the meal.  My radio buddies here and I love that place.  Favorite restaurant is Roka Akor for sushi and Asian fusion (480-306-8800).  I’m hearing Chelsea’s Kitchen, also nearby, is new and outstanding (602-957-2555).
