🍕 Today is Star Wars Day – May the 4th be with you – which means Stars Wars-themed food and drink specials around the Valley. For example, Myke’s Pizza in downtown Mesa is celebrating with Star Wars-themed pizzas, such as a Darth Tater Pizza, and desserts, while host Cider Corps serves up Light Saber Cider Slushies and Mangolorian Bombs. In north Phoenix, Kitsune Brewing has a double can release to go along with Star Wars trivia at 6:30 p.m. Anyone dressed up as a Star Wars character will get happy hour pricing all night. Feeling creative? Paint your own Deathstar at SanTan Spirit House in downtown Chandler at 5 or 7 p.m.
