I will have several days to experience Salt Lake City-- (I will not have a vechile to go outside the area) I will relie on the TRAX light-rail line. What can I find within this limitations to enjoy the BEST SLC. (resturants, shops, entertainment) thanks

The Gateway Mall has lots of good shopping, restaurants and movie theaters. You could go to a Jazz game, Utah Symphony, see a play at Capitol Theatre or Pioneer Theatre Company, and spend some time at Temple Square.

Does anybody have any knowledge of "Gastromy" or "The New Yorker" I saw these two resturants advertized in a magazine, but Foders does not mention the resturants in their list. Thanks

Gastronomy is a local restaurant group. The Market Street Grill is part of the group and The New Yorker. The New Yorker is a private club for members only. I think you can buy a temporary membership to a club for $5.00 which is good for a couple of weeks. Food at the Market Street and the New Yorker is wonderful. http://www.gastronomyinc.com/restaurants.html

check out salt lake magazine for referrals http://www.saltlakemagazine.com/

ohh...just thought of the Mikado downtown...great sushi and Japanese food. This restaurant has been there for at least 50 years...

We had a wonderful time. The New Yorker was fabulous. Enjoyed staying at Little America, loved our room in the tower. Great experience
