I thought I would give you a couple ideas about places to eat and how to travel around in the downtown area while you're here next week.
I know one of my favorite things to do when I travel is eat! I asked my "foodie" daughter and her husband if they had any recommendations for downtown and other nearby restaurants. They came up with the following list:
- Takashi (sushi, good for large groups)
- Copper Onion (new American, good for large groups)
- Settebello’s (artisan pizza/real Italian pizza, good for large groups)
- Red Iguana (Mexican, good for large groups)
- Pretty Bird (hot chicken sandwiches, very small location, go if there’s good weather so you can sit outside, better for small groups)
- Eva’s (new American tapas restaurant, no more than six people)
- Sweet Biscuits and Limeade (great brunch place, moderate sized groups)
- Pig and a Jelly Jar (great brunch place, moderate sized groups)
- Ruby Snap (little cookie bakery)
- Fillings & Emulsions (literally the greatest bakery :-) )
- Lucky 13 (bar, spectacular burgers)
- Oh Mai (Vietnamese food, good for moderate size groups)
- Ruth’s Diner (great breakfast. also lunch and dinner)
- Feldman’s Deli (Jewish deli shop, great sandwiches)
- Siegfried’s (great German food)
- The Dodo (my daugher's favorite restaurant, new American food, known for their amazing pie, good for moderate sized groups, can accommodate a large group if you go early)
- Moochies (great sub sandwiches, good for any size group)
As long as you are in Salt Lake you should at least walk around Temple Square and see the world-wide headquarters of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. And if you want to explore your roots, one block to the west is the Family Search Library which holds the world's largest collection of genealogical information.
See you next week,
