Molly Blooms Park City Restaurant Review

Molly Blooms Restaurant & Pub

We decided to give Molly Blooms Restaurant and Pub in Park City a try after a movie at the Redstone 8 Cinemas. We were starving and wanted to go somewhere at Kimball Junction as opposed to downtown. We sat inside the Whole Foods Market and used their free WiFi to bring up the Google map of Kimball Junction area restaurants. Molly’s is kind of hidden away in a corner between the (more…)

Snowkiting Lessons in Park City Utah

Yesterday I took a snowkiting lesson from the Best Snowkite Center in Utah. Our lesson took place in an open field just outside Park City. They offer several different lesson packages which range from 2-4 hours. I got a good deal on the Snowkite Into Clinic from Groupon when they had a one-day sale for $50. Normal price is $175 or $99 midweek.

The lesson is supposed to be for 2 hours, but we actually went from 9am to almost noon thanks to our instructor, Jacob, who gave us some extra time with the kites at the end until the next group showed up for their lesson. Jacob, who has been snowkiting and kiteboarding since (more…)

Maxwells Park City Utah Restaurant Review

Maxwell’s East Coast Eatery in Park City, Utah offers The West some of the best eats of The East which is often hard to find in these parts.

We have tried several pizza places over the years that have come really close to NY style. The best one was Atlantic Pizza which I loved, but they packed it up and moved somewhere unknown – they didn’t even tell me they were leaving . There are two other pizzerias in Park City that (more…)

Yolk on Main Kamas Utah Review

Yolk on Main in Kamas, Utah is a restaurant we decided to try out while on our way to do some snowshoeing in the high Uintas off Mirror Lake Highway. Kamas is a short drive from Park City and the Mirror Lake Highway is a beautiful destination either in summer or winter. We stopped in around noon and decided to order breakfast, which they serve all day, to fulfill what was lacking from our measly bowl of cereal earlier that morning. As we entered we were quickly greeted with a smiling face and (more…)
