Rio Grande, Salt Lake City by Shireen Kotay
Cafe Trang
Shireen Kotay: Absolutely the best Vietnamese good I've ever had. Try the Malaysian Rice Noodles!!! Their entrees are generous and filling, each is a meal in itself. The service was excellent and the prices reasonable for the amount of food provided. Convenient location and nice atmosphere. Great place to eat and walk away satisfied.
Clark Planetarium
Shireen Kotay: Super fun place to visit whether you have children or not! It was a very educational experience for us. Although we didn't get the chance to go to an Imax film here, the tour of the Planetarium itself was so much fun! Not to mention, very cool and relaxing on a hot summer day. Take your family or friends to the Clark Planetarium for a great time! Don't forget the IMAX theater in it.
Pioneer Park
Shireen Kotay: Artisan cheeses. Handcrafted salami. Heirloom veggies. Seasonal fruits. These are the things that turn life into living and they're all available, in one place, direct from the source in downtown Salt Lake City. This is my top choice for farmer's markets in the valley, because of the sheer size and variety of goods and goodies available. It's also just fun to go for the entertainment. The location is well suited for the purpose.
Gallivan Plaza
Shireen Kotay: The Gallivan Center is a versatile, public urban area that plays host to recreational and educational activities for families and individuals alike. In the wintertime, a newly remodeled ice rink is available for skating, and as always, the Gallivan Center provides a unique downtown experience. It is a unique venue for a myriad of events including concerts, exhibits, fairs, weddings, ice-skating and more. Events are put on by local groups and organizations renting the plaza, while others are prog
Utah Theater
Shireen Kotay: Also known as the Pantages and the Orpheum, the Utah Theater was once a jewel of Main Street. It was built in 1918 and originally housed vaudeville performances. In 1988 the Utah Theater was closed as a movie theater and leased as a live state production house for the Salt Lake Repertory Theatre, known as City Rep, until they were forced to move when the building was sold to a new owner in 1992. Since then, the theater has had various owners from a Park City writer to a construction company.
P.F. Chang's China Bistro
Shireen Kotay: From Mild to spicy, they have many wonderful dishes in beef, pork, chicken and noodles varieties.. You should really go and judge for yourself. You will not be disappointed.. Just be sure to order the grilled asparagus.. Oh and the lemon chicken is divine as well. Though a bit pricey, I think the food will be worth it. Be prepared for a bit of a wait for seating and for your food. Try out the pepper steak and their signature lettuce wrap.
