Ready for the Downtown Tempe Brunch Crawl?

Posted on: July 12th, 2016 by Taryn Jeffries 1 Comment

There are not many things that get me out of bed early on a weekend, let alone to make myself presentable and leave my house. There is one thing, though, that can tempt me and that is a great brunch and if you’re like me prepare to be quadruple-y tempted with one of the most exciting foodie events in downtown Tempe.

The Downtown Tempe Authority is hosting their second annual Downtown Tempe Brunch Crawl on July 23rd. The event will feature a tour of four different brunch spots with food and drink specials at each stop. You have two different check in times, depending on where you stand on the whole “morning person” situation. You’ll be transported via air conditioned trolley, where you will find carafes of mimosas on board* to ensure that the fun and festivities will be non-stop. While the Brunch Crawl is an all ages event, you’ll obviously need to be 21 or over in order to partake in the cocktails!

All you need to do is visit the event website and RSVP for your start time of choice. There is no cost to RSVP, you’re just holding your space at the restaurants and on the trolley. All of the participating restaurants feature their own specials and you will pay as you go, based on your selections.
