Fourth Avenue

An underpass leads from Congress Street to funky Fourth Avenue. Storefronts house a food coop, the Hippie Gypsy, vintage clothing stores, shops selling books, gifts, crafts and art, and The Hut, where a 89-centimeter-high tiki head draws folks for tropical drinks and live music. Tucson's streetcar, the Sun Link, runs along Fourth Avenue and is popular with students from the nearby University of Arizona campus.

If you need a classy end to a busy day, head for Agustin Kitchen. The restaurant is located at Mercado San Agustin, an open-air court-yard located west of Interstate 10 in the Menlo Park neighborhood at the very edge of downtown, at the last stop of the Sun Link. It's a great spot for cocktails, small plates and other fresh, flavorful food.
