City Cast Salt Lake

As you know, a large part of Salt Lake City is closed on Sunday. My advice to newcomers: Lean into it. Spend the day doing what you can to recharge.

Here are Hey Salt Lake reader recs for how to spend your day of rest. Plus, listen to me 

“Picnic and wander around Red Butte Garden, hiking anywhere, fantastic Bolly-X class at 

Brunch, of course at Copper Onion and then Broadway Theater matinee. Top Golf. Go to Antelope Island, Liberty Park/Tracy Aviary. Start a Sunday supper club potluck, early evening. Picnic in City Creek or Millcreek Canyon.” - Virginia R.

“We go hiking every Sunday morning and then hit up Citrus Grill for an amazing brunch.” - Dawn G.

“I like to take advantage of the trails. It’s still weekend busy, but definitely not as bad as Saturdays. If I have a friend performing at a drag brunch, I definitely go see them, though I advise eating something before you go. Depending on the location, the mimosas come more rapidly than the food. If indoor climbing is your thing, I’ve found that Sundays are really quiet at The Front. My guess is that a lot of people climb outside on the weekends.” - Sky H.

 and it’s actually amazing, such a supportive chill community for anyone that wants the cool things about church without any doctrine. It’s all about pursuing your own beliefs, and it’s fun to be in an intergenerational environment.” - Chandler R.

“I go to the Grand America spa, relaxing and full of self-care. I’m in love with the tea in the lobby lounge. Make a reservation! It gets booked quick.” - Therese A.

Places For Dinner and Dessert With Friends

Nomad East Pizza


This place is warm and cozy. The “Betty White” pizza has garlic sauce, mozzarella, arugula, and golden raisins on it – which may sound weird, but it works so well.


Lots of excellent flavors and plenty of seating. Gelato is always a good idea – especially paired with pizza!



Places For Holiday Shopping

Local Markets at This is the Place


This is the Place hosts lots of markets that are great for shopping and meeting local makers. Their next upcoming market is the 

It’s a classic for a reason! One of my favorite shops to walk to on a Saturday morning and get some new books to add to my collection.

The Best Caprese Sandwich

IMHO, baking season is every season, but at this time of year there’s nothing quite like a cup of your favorite tea and a warm baked good. Here are some reader suggestions of the best pastries along the Wasatch Front:


“If you’re looking for THE best sweet or savory pastry you must try 

 at 44 W. 7200 S. in Midvale. Family run and everything is great. Pineapple Pie, meat pie, koko samoa bundt cake, mango tarts — just to name a few. Go now!” — Penny P.

“Highly recommend the almond croissant from 

“The tomato basil croissant (get it warmed up) from 

 is my favorite pastry in SLC.” — Kate G.

. Sweet, flaky, and buttery — what else could you want in a pastry?
