Walking distance; about 3 blocks. Best green curry I have ever had! This can be somewhat slow if you are going to sit-down. Take out is better or try Thai Kitchen Restaurant who are owned by the same people and is just a little farther; it is more of an order at the counter, and they bring it to you- restaurant.

Elote is a newer restaurant that has gotten slamming reviews. The meals have a delicious and unique taste. Expect to wait a little while as they do not take reservations and enjoy some good drinks until you are seated. NOTE: They have moved their location to uptown Sedona. The Vault is in uptown as well and is a place we have yet to check out! There are so many!! =D

I have a friend who goes here ALL the time. If I had money like she did maybe I'd do the same. She says the food is good but nothing out of the ordinary; it is mostly the ambiance that she loves. She is from London so maybe it's a Europe thing. :)

THE Best Sandwiches on the planet. Trust me, you will not regret it. Order ahead for a free cookie! (And to make sure they are open) Not much sitting space, so sometimes nice to pick them up and take them to the creek or for a picnic elsewhere.

Arts & Culture
I put this as a museum because there is a lot you can learn here but there is also something very special about this peaceful landmark. I have gone here with some of my troubles and left feeling completely enlightened afterwards. This place is pretty fascinating, a must visit! It's getting more and more touristy so go early in the morning if you want some privacy.

There is nothing better than yoga Friday or Saturday mornings with Jennifer at 8:30. She encompasses all religions, beliefs, and higher beings into her practice reminding us all that we are here to love one another and be our best selves that we can possibly be. As a first timer, or expert yogi, you will feel comfortable in your own skin within the first five minutes and just enjoy moving. It's Awesome. (Yoga mats are there to rent.)

Best massage of my life, and I'm kind of a massage snob. The prices are decent too; you can get a two hour Swedish Massage for $150. You aren't really on vacation unless you treat yourself to one of these right? Especially good after a hike! (Drop my name too please; I get points for people I refer. :)

Lately, we have been going to Bashas which is just another block further from Safeway. We have found a lot of items to be cheaper but also not such a zoo! Use my cell phone number to get you the membership discounts.
