To start your journey in the Crossroads of the West, consider grabbing breakfast at the Blue Plate Diner. This 50s-inspired partially open-air design invites both locals and visitors to park their bicycles and eat some folksy-hipster chow. Try the pork chili verde — onions, cheddar cheese and black beans — for $7.99.
Next, head over the Museum of Contemporary Art. Here, guests can explore the many progressive inspirations in the midst of the traditionally conservative town. While the admission is free, a $5 donation is encouraged.

For lunch, the Copper Onion in Central City is the place to be. Located next to Sundance Film Festival regular Broadway Centre Cinemas, this chic city bar has a small, but precise menu. Their BBQ Brisket Sandwich on a baguette runs for just $12.
If you find yourself in the valley, just northwest of the city, you might consider visiting Miller Motorsports Park. Here, $30 will buy an all-day pass to experience off-road events like motocross and off-road buggy racing, as well as paved-course attractions.

About a block from Sugar House Park is one of Salt Lake City’s best bar restaurants — The Fiddler’s Elbow. This lively pool bar has an extensive menu that might be difficult to choose from, but their garlic burger on ciabatta may stand above the rest at $8.95.
Finally, end your night at the Gallivan Center, Salt Lake City’s cultural mecca. This park and amphitheater regularly holds popular concerts throughout the summer. For those visiting in the winter, a relaxing nighttime skate might be the right choice at the beautiful ice-skating rink.
