For more than a decade, the Scottsdale Quarter has served as a vibrant, albeit understated, hub for shopping, dining and entertainment in Scottsdale. In contrast to the popular but somewhat overwhelming Scottsdale Fashion Square mall to the south, the Scottsdale Quarter is home to favorites like Lululemon and Urban Outfitters, as well as upscale steak, pasta and seafood restaurants. A more relaxed open-air mall with plenty of dining options, from restaurants to healthy restaurants. – Focuses on gourmet snacks such as to-go acai bowls and juices, signature cream puffs and sumptuous milkshakes. —
