French Cuisine by Student Cooks
Bon Apetite! Pretend you’re dining amidst the beautiful South of France… but nearby and for cheap! The Scottsdale Culinary Institute’s student French restaurant, L’Ecole, dishes out très bien French fare for much less than the others. Lunch is $20 to $25 for three or four courses, and dinner is $30 to $35 with three or four courses. The menu changes daily.

Silent Sundays for South Mountain Biking Trails
If you want to get outdoors and enjoy a tranquil bike ride through the South Mountain Park trails without the hustle and bustle of oncoming traffic, try the park’s Silent Sundays. On these special days, the roads beyond the main gate are closed to motor vehicles, giving cyclists, in-line skaters, wheelchair users and even mothers’ with their strollers. So you can ride an open, breezy road.

This is a good assortment of events. That silent sundays event sounds interesting.
thanks for this Jackie!
