The five-storey building is all glass on one side, overlooking a large, limestone plaza with waterfalls, fountains, pools, sculptures, shops and an amphitheatre. There’s also an art gallery on the fourth floor, the largest ‘zine collection in the country, and a variety of free community events, workshops, films and concerts."

"The word groundbreaking may not often be used to describe art in Utah, but in the case of the Utah Museum of Contemporary Art (Umoca), it fits like Andy Warhol and Campbell’s Soup. With four gallery spaces and an auditorium, Umoca exhibits work by contemporary local, national and international artists. If there is a “good” time to view art in Salt Lake City it’s the third Friday of every month for the Gallery Stroll, of which Umoca is always a part."

"If you’re traveling sans small wallet-draining noise makers, consider a visit to the Natural History Museum on the U of U campus or the Modern Art Museum downtown. The Red Butte Botanical Garden is worth a visit as well. Then return your rental car and board your plane."

"Their flagship store on 390 E 1700 S in Sugarhouse, and then 271 N Center Street on Capitol Hill. Their choice of art and decoration is certainly unique, with some elements that remind me of the famous Voodoo Donuts shops in Portland. Both Alchemy locations are different in their look and feel, but are still consistent in the attention they pay to quality and consistency."

"In the tradition of true alchemists, the folks at Alchemy Coffee turn what they touch into pure gold. One sip, and you’ll be a convert to their magic touch. The atmosphere is laid-back, but it has a hard-rock vibe as well, complete with skulls and an affinity for the Grateful Dead."

"Over on the East side of town you’ll find Feldman’s Deli – a slice of NYC and Jersey right here in SLC. That’s because owner Michael Feldman hails from back East, and when moving to Utah, brought with him all his favorite lunch specials: over stuffed corned beef sandwiches, reuebens and yes, classic NYC cheese steak. Note: Feldman’s 1/2 sandwiches might just run you lunch and dinner all by themselves."

"If you’ve seen my post on the Top 10 Places to Eat in Salt Lake City, you know my love for Feldman’s Deli. It’s the only authentic Jewish deli for miles within the SLC area and serves some of the greatest sandwiches I’ve had in my life. But the breakfast is not to be missed."

"Specializing in pizza, pasta, sandwiches, and burgers, this Italian restaurant can please any palette. Pizzas and burgers can be custom-ordered, and built with a generous selection of toppings. On the menu, you'll see many year-round items in each of those groups, as well as a separate list of seasonal items."

"Also on my list of Top 10 Places to Eat in SLC and Best Bakeries in SLC post, Tulie Bakery does a great job for different occasions and their small breakfast menu is some of the best in town. Aside from Tulie’s incredible assortment of fresh baked French pastries, they serve breakfast every morning including toasts, steel cut oats, Brioche french toast, the ever famous croque monsier, and beignets on Fri/Sat/Sun. If you haven’t gone here yet, I have failed as a foodie."

"Located in the hip 9th and 9th neighborhood, Tulie is small and spare in all the right ways. The minimalist decor features reclaimed wood, exposed brick, floor-to-ceiling windows, and communal seating. You won’t find a ton of elaborate, fancy desserts here—Tulie focuses on simpler treats, such as gougeres, fresh fruit tarts, cupcakes, and macarons made from seasonal and local ingredients and baked to perfection."

"Tulie Bakery enjoys a prime location just north of the 9th and 9th intersection in Sugarhouse, and adjacent to Trio Cafe;one of the city's most popular modern Italian eateries. This tempting little gem offers some of the tastiest light fare in all of Salt Lake City. With a menu that ranges from hot, pressed sandwiches to pastries and cakes, the Tulie Bakery challenges you to find a reason NOT to visit."
