The Newton is not your typical shopping center, but rather a recently redeveloped midcentury building in mid-town Phoenix that's home to Changing Hands Bookstore, the city's top independent bookseller. The store carries a wide selection of eclectic and unique gift items, and regularly hosts author events. You'll also find a neat bar located right in the bookstore. The Newton complex is also home to Southwest Gardener, a local home decor and gardening gift shop specializing in desert flora. When you're reading to take a shopping break, step into Southern Rail, which dishes out modern southern comfort food. The Newton is also convenient to shopping pit stops around the Biltmore District, Arcadia, and other central Phoenix neighborhoods.
