Several Route 66 establishments made the final cut in Arizona Highways magazine’s annual “Best of Arizona” feature, which is in the August issue that’s out now.
Mr. D’z Route 66 Diner in Kingman was mentioned in the Kingman Daily Miner for having the “Best Beer without a Buzz,” a reference to the restaurant’s acclaimed root beer.
The magazine story can’t be viewed online, but associate editor Kelly Kramer e-mailed a “Best of Arizona” list involving Route 66 towns:
- Best Opportunity for High-Altitude Peer Review: Flagstaff Photography Club, Flagstaff
- Best Opportunity to Dream in Black and White: Wigwam Motel, Holbrook
- Best Beer Without a Buzz: Mr D’z Route 66 Diner, Kingman
- Best Bet for Experiencing the Upper Crust: Miz Zip’s, Flagstaff
- Best Place to Stare at a Rock: Museum of Northern Arizona, Flagstaff (Winona Meteorite)
- Best Place to Flip a Disc: McPherson Park, Flagstaff
- Best Opportunity to Be Blown Away: Wupatki National Monument, near Flagstaff
In case you’re wondering about the “upper crust” for Miz Zip’s, that refers to the restaurant’s pies.
Arizona Highways is sold at major bookstores, including Borders and Barnes & Noble, as well as grocery stores across the state.
