Walking the Historic and Modern Areas of Tucson

In my list, a city is a winner if its culinary scene surpasses my expectations. Tucson is one of those cities that took me entirely by surprise.  I was aware of all the delicious Sonora style dishes available thought the city but was not prepared for a smorgasbord of Italian, Asian and New American options.
