My next stop on the quest to have as much fun as possible on $200 was a seat at Saturday’s Real Salt Lake Major League Soccer playoff game, versus Columbus, here at Rio Tinto Stadium in Sandy. Pro soccer might just be my new favorite spectator sport, and the Real Salt Lake fans are really, really fun.
Last week, my girlfriend and I found ourselves with four other couples, looking for a classy place for dinner. A beautiful drive up part of Emigration Canyon away, lay one of Salt Lake’s best secrets: Ruth’s Diner. We looked forward to eating on the spacious patio they have out back, but the weather was cold enough that it was closed, which made it a tight fit for a group of 10 inside the renovated salt lake trolley car (yes, part of the restaurant is still in side the old trolley). Regardless, the hostess made it happen and we felt as welcome as the smaller groups surrounding us. continue reading…
Snow fell on the valley for the first time of the season last week. The white flakes were so welcome as it made me think of soft, fluffy ski turns to come in the winter ahead. Shortly after that thought flashed in my head, my next thought turned to warm, delicious clam chowder. I work downtown and relatively close to the Market Street Grill. So my co-workers and I decided to drop in and enjoy a bowl of their famous clam chowder. Winter in Salt Lake and Market Street Grill’s clam chowder go together like cheese and crackers–which, by the way, are excellent to add to your clam chowder if you like. Any stop at the Market Street Grill also includes their perfectly baked white bread and very friendly and professional service.
This famous clam chowder is offered at all of the Market Street restaurants. Click here to see the location nearest you. Next time you’re cold and down about the winter weather, drop in to the Market Street Grill and let the clam chowder warm your day.

This past Tuesday, it was *cold* here in SLC - winter has made an appearance. As the snow continued to fall, it was a perfect evening to share a seasonal brew and hot meal with a friend. continue reading…
Note: This is the first in a series
It’s a tough job, but someone’s gotta do it: for the next month, I’m on a mission to find out just how much fun two people can have on $200. In the upcoming weeks, I (along with a few willing accomplices) will be exploring the pretty fantastic opportunities we have here in SLC, from outdoor recreation and live music to museums and restaurants. Some of it’s free, some might be a splurge, and there’s lots in-between…
My girlfriend and I were seeing Where The Wild Things Are at the Century 16 in Union Heights last week. We only had an hour for dinner, so we looked close by and found the Asian Star. I had been there once before and remembered that they were fairly speedy. So we gave it a shot. continue reading…
Looking for a vegetarian, organic dining option that also serves up atmosphere? Wanting to fill your belly and satisfy your taste buds, even if you’re usually a carnivore? No matter who you are, it’s time to eat at Sage’s.
The hills are once again turning white and our friends at Snowbird sent us this video that we had to share. After watching it once, watch it again and close your eyes at 2:12 and you can almost feel the powder faceshot.
Winter…it’s almost here! Get yourself hooked up on the 4th Night Stay and Ski Free deal and put yourself in that video this year.
Remember lunch? Yea, it was that hour long part of your day that you enjoyed with a meal and if you’re lucky a few close friends or family.
If you’re like many working Americans today lunch is not really a time for the relaxed meal with family and friends it was of the past. You may juggle errands, shopping, doctor visits or perhaps the lunch “hour” has turned into a lunch 1/4 hour leaving you with few options.
In Salt Lake when it comes to lunch and lunch styles, Mary Malouf who writes for the Salt Lake Magazine has the scene pegged. continue reading…
I don’t ever remember growing up that my parents would ever consider paying money for me to wander through a corn field maze. It seemed so illogical at the time when I could get lost on my own accord and at a very nice price (free) but within the past 10 years it’s been quite amazing to see the number of corn mazes and pumpkin patches sprout up here in Utah giving the Halloween season a number of options for getting out for an evening of fun. continue reading…
