The New York Times gave another nod to the Old Pueblo yesterday.

In case you missed it, The New York Times explored Tucson for 36 hours — and wrote about the experience. 

"Foodies, cyclists and the aesthetically inclined will find much to like in this desert city, home to a new bike-share system, adobe architecture and restaurants that reflect a mix of cultural influences," the story, written by Elaine Glusac, says. 

Glusac mentioned Tumamoc Hill, Pop Cycle, Seis Kitchen, Flandrau Science Center & Planetarium, Hotel Congress, and several other Tucson favorites.

"As Austin is to Texas, Tucson is to Arizona," the story reads. "In this outspoken university town, artists, intellectuals and athletes share their passions for good food and outdoor fun."
