In its infinite wisdom, the NCAA doesn't tell you where your team hotel is for the Regionals until you've made that part of the Tournament. In our case that would be sometime Sunday postgame. So, I have no idea how far that could be. Usually the hotels are very close to the arena. But, I appreciate the heads up.

Thank you, @rozrapp

Anyone have anything to recommend here. We'll be somewhere near the Rocket Arena. But any thing good that isn't more than a 15 minutes uber would be okay. TIA

Any thoughts?

The NCAA Selection Committee sending Alabama to Cleveland (and Newark if we make it through the 1st round).

18 hour travel day trying to get back from Nashville. Delta has really been having issues lately.

I only had 2 meals away from the team. One at Hestia, which was excellent. I did a la carte, not the tasting menu. And Clark's Oyster Bar. Very good oysters and cold bar options to choose from. And mains were very good too.

I liked Zero Day too.

The Gladly Public House (Scottsdale) El Chorro Lodge (Paradise Valley-kind of on the edge of Scottsdale and Phoenix) Arrogant Butcher (Phoenix) Bluehound Kitchen (Phoenix)

Now that they take reservations, I would say it is worth a visit. Full disclosure, I went with a very good friend of the house. The place was packed. And from what I could tell by looking around the room, diners were enjoying themselves. I get home this afternoon. I'll add the othe spots then. ETA: I ate at Wren and Wolf 2x because I liked it "that" much. And I took 8 of my "Road Dogs" there for dinner. Most of them went back at some point during our stretch there.

I really liked Wren and Wolf (Phoenix) and Beginner's Luck (Scottsdale)-but not really a dining experience. We ate at 2 other places during the Final Four last year. I'm blanking on the names. Both were very good. When I get home I'll check my notes.

oops. Pantry.

I really like Japanese Pantry too.

I am so sorry. I am glad you have your children, grandchildren and good neighbors and friends to help you in your grief. And to share wonderful stories and memories of Mr. Voyager with.
