Arizona Budokan...3129 E. Cactus...Phoenix, Az. 602.953.7527
simply the best traditional martial arts, karate and training facility in Phoenix. The Chief Instructor Rudy Croswell has over 35 years training and teaching in Japan and worldwide and emphasizes real world personal defense methods with seminars given by some of the absolute best in the martial arts community. NOT the tournament, movie or street fight silliness so popular today. Ages 12 thru 72
Bell Lexus...12th Street & Bell Road...Phoenix, Az.
for selection and quality of product, there is none better. Knowledgeable staff, courtesy and friendly matches well with the finest automobile products in the industry bar none. See the newest 2008 offerings and see why so many drive LEXUS. You could pay more, but why? Ask for Crandall Kincaid, a great guy and tell him ESP sent you.
Banana Republic...KIERLAND COMMONS...North Scottsdale, Az
the flagship brand of GAP Inc. has certainly proved the test of time correct. Great fashion, superior materials and workmanship, reasonable prices and sophisticated clients allow this store to rank consistently in the top 10% worldwide. Quality on par with Boss, Coach, Gucci and Prada at far less cost to consumer. Highly recommended, and one of the top five retailers to work for with a boss that bakes cookies and cakes for her staff and managers! A great place to shop and work, visit SOON!
Shaklee Nutritional Products...Shaklee.net/esp

Voce Jazz Restaurant ....Hayden at Mountainview Scottsdale
Khani Cole finally has her own "home" to dine and entertain her many friends and fans! Literally decorated and designed by Khani herself, one immediately feels the warmth and ultra cool ambience. Great Italian food, fine wines and extraordinary music 5 nights a week, guarantees a great outing for singles, couples or groups. Guest artists stopping by already have been Marion Meadows, Dennis Rowland, Dominic Amato to name a few. This is already an Arizona landmark not to be missed. Dress accordingly!
Patsy Grimaldi's Pizza....Scottsdale Rd & Indian School
being from East Coast, WE know pizza. Not the doughy, bread looking, tomato sauce and cheese stuff that most try to pass off as authentic pizza, but the New York vs. South Philly straight-from-the-old-country-now-living-in Little Italy pizza. Don't kid yourself, after eating this fresh ingredient, thin crust and oh so tasty real McCoy, (what a pun) you will realize that the others should simply sell ketchup and cheese and stop pretending.
Sapporo...Sushi & More....Scottsdale Rd & Greenway
living in Japan, I never encountered a restaurant this big. However, the sushi is good, the prices reasonable, and the crowd fantastic. Whether eating at the teppan yaki tables, the sushi bar, or outside on the patio, this place is dynamic, fun and guaranteed to please. Competition is heading their way however, but this is my personal favorite for its ambience, great food and reverse happy hour .
Jim Valli's Cafe Blue....Goldwater Blvd near 5th Ave. Oldtown
THE most beautifully designed, well thought out and relaxing lounge restaurant in town, PERIOD. The owner, Jim Valli headed up Marco Polo, and was an original member of the Mastro Group, and his 20 years plus as a master chef and designer shows. Trained in Asian as well as French and Italian, you can close your eyes and point to anything on the menu and be absolutely pleased with your selection. They cater to a discriminating crowd with money, as the Bentleys, Aston Martins and Rolls will indicate, but don't let that discourage you, your stomach and money is good here too. They never advertise, so now its your secret too. (NOW CLOSED)
Hugo Boss...Fashion Square...Scottsdale, Az
fashion is back...and BOSS is definitely here. The name in style, fashion and couture has prevented many a male from sliding into appearance oblivion and disrepute. While slackers continue to dress like their mothers hated them, the successful, aware and confident man continues to dress with purpose and distinction. When college days are over, you really need to get a BOSS. Ask for Anthony or Remy, they KNOW fashion and are glad to help.
FOSTERS SEAFOOD...Shea Blvd off the 101 Fwy...Scottsdale
Bill Deacon has dragged New England to the desert. With clam chowder so good, Bostonians are moving here just to get some. Fish so fresh, fisherman are flown in along with them. And the roll for a hot dog that you can only get in New England is now at home here, but thats another story. The short of it is this restaurant deserves the rep its getting and the crowd that keeps coming and you need to bring the family to experience this culinary smorgasbord of the sea. (NOW CLOSED)
FLYERS DIRECT...Printing Services...Scottsdale Az...
Owners Kim and Cary Monaco took this out of the house graphic design and print service to a whole other level. Their new, expanded and fully capable facility in Scottsdale now dominates the market for graphic design, club print, business mag and poster creation. Fast, efficient with excellent pricing, the two hard working brothers have certainly made their mark on the entrepreneurial scene that includes their promotion company at one of the most prestigious venues in Scottsdale. Mention ESP for the special insiders deal.
W hotel...Scottsdale...from the creators of one of the most innovative venues in Arizona, Empire and the business group that almost single handedly change the breadth and scope of the hospitality industry in Scottsdale, now the latest and most ambitious offering to date. The new boutique hotel opened to rave reviews, great restaurant choices, a roof deck pool and bar that again raises the bar. Rooms, suites and owned apartments exceed expectations of even the most jaded Scottsdale socialite. Step up your game.
