Food scene
Impeccable food less than half mile up the hill on Center Street. Beautiful indoor dining space and outdoor patio. Live music in the evenings. Menu rotates seasonally. Not huge portions, but just flawless food. A Marmalade/ West Capitol Hill gem. So, so good!

Really great coffee and a few toasts and pastries in a light airy spot just 4 blocks south on 200 w (walking along 200 west is a nice morning walk in itself!). Just a few seats inside and outside. About a block and a half from Temple Square.

The address near the house is actually on 300 West and 400 North. More indoor space to hang and work than District Coffee Co. and the coffee might be better, too.

Some of the best dining in SLC (with plenty of sports nearby to grab a quick drink while you wait for a table). Walkable from the house on a nice evening (about 1.5 miles south on Main Street).

One of the co-owners and the head brewer is a family member of mine!
Fisher Brewing was one of Utah’s early breweries, opening in Salt Lake City in 1884. The brewery was founded by a German immigrant, Albert Fisher, who moved to the area and started working at a local brewery in the 1870s. After getting some experience, he was ambitious enough to break away and start his own company. For a time the business thrived, selling approximately 75,000 barrels of beer a year by 1905.
In 2017, fifty years after the original Fisher Brewing sold its last beer, the business was brought back by Albert Fisher’s great-great-grandson, Tom Riemondy and three other partners, Tim Dwyer, Steve Brown and Colby Frazier. The reopening was four years in the making and has been well worth the wait.
Tons of tables to sit and hang, both inside and out, and rotating food trucks. Say hi to Colby Frazier, the head brewer!

Neighborhoods
ust to the north of downtown, you’ll happen across one of Salt Lake’s oldest, most charming, character-rich neighborhoods: the Marmalade District. Loosely bordered by Quince Street on the west and Columbus Street on the east, the streets have names like Apricot, Almond, and Quince—a nod to the fruit trees planted by the pioneer homesteaders who first inhabited the neighborhood.
Marmalade itself being a reference to the fruit preserves which were stored up for the winter months. The historic homes, some of the oldest in the city, showcase an array of handcrafted architectural styles, ranging from adobe to carpenter-gothic to Victorian.
Walk around the neighborhood and check out all the interesting homes and side streets. The hills will give you a nice workout, too!

Sightseeing
A must- do run if you're visiting Salt Lake City! Just to the east of the Capitol building you'll find a curving road that winds down to City Creek Canyon and Memory Grove. Veer left at the curve to head up City Creek Canyon itself. Turn right down the tree-lined path to venture into Memory Grove, a beautiful creek-adjacent paved road that leads down to Memory Grove park (also accessible by taking the stairs down directly to the east of the Capitol).
There's also a direct path that's great for off-leash dogs.
