You know you live in Tempe when you wake up on a cool November morning with a smile on your face because the weather is finally under 60 degrees! The coffee tastes a little warmer, and the cool breeze that hits your face finally comes from something other than your expensive A/C unit. As we all celebrate cooler days to come, we also get more active, because let’s face it, this is our time to get out and enjoy the reason we DO live here.

It also marks the most festive time of the year. As we move towards Thanksgiving, we know that the holiday lights, festive food and great events await. We are excited to enjoy the holidays season, and in Tempe this year, there are plenty of great ways to get you in the spirit of the season, so we want to share just a few that we are excited to check out.

Of course, through this holiday season, stop by Original Geno’s before your holiday events, while out looking at Christmas lights, or during your seasonal shopping for great crave-able eats like our Famous Philly, toasted subs, and the best Pizza in Tempe!
