A few weeks back we reviewed Este Pizza’s downtown location after I had some of the tastiest New York pizza in west of the Hudson. So it comes as no surprise that the Salt Lake Tribune ran a short piece about Este Pizza this week showcasing one of its dishes at their “Dish of the Week”.
It also gives me reason (as if I needed another reason) to get back to Este for their fried dough fritters which sounds like a treat I can’t pass up.
Here is a blip from the review: continue reading…
When I found myself front and center at last weekend’s Vieux Farka Toure show, it hit me that this is one of those moments that makes Salt Lake such a great place to live.

Sage’s Cafe is one of Salt Lake’s few purely vegan restaurants and boats delicious and satisfying vegan eats. Tuesday nights from 5pm to 9:30pm, Sage’s breaks out the pizza pans and offers all you can eat vegan pizzas and salad.

While many cities are experiencing a housing market limbo or worse, Businessweek reports in a recent article that Salt Lake’s housing outlook is bright.
Because Salt Lake did not experience the height of the frenzied housing boom times, its housing market dodged the bust and has fared far better than many other areas. Moreover, Salt Lake is one of the “fastest-growing metropolitan areas in the country” and boasts a large Generation Y population eager to leverage the $8,000 first-time home buyer federal tax credit. continue reading…
When you arrive at your next meeting or convention here in Salt Lake you may notice something new. The Salt Palace has a new name.
A couple weeks ago Salt Lake held a ceremony to officially rename its convention center the Calvin L.
