The soul of Tucson
In 2015 UNESCO named Tucson the first City of Gastronomy in the United States, honoring a food culture that runs back more than 4,000 years, from the O'odham fields to the Sonoran hot dog. In the desert, Tucson has been eating well longer than almost anywhere on the continent.
Every summer the sky stacks up and breaks in the North American monsoon, a nightly show of desert thunderstorms that locals plan their evenings around. It is the drama that makes the dry heat worth it.
