- Powder Ice Lounge
Ice, Ice Baby
Located just below Canyons Resort at Park City’s Waldorf Astoria (2100 Frostwood Drive, Park City, 435-647-5500, ParkCityWaldorfAstoria.com)
and adjacent to Powder restaurant, the Powder Ice Lounge has opened for
the 2014 winter season. This is a very cool (literally) concept: a
14-foot bar constructed entirely of carved ice and outfitted with
sculpted-ice furniture. Powder Ice Lounge features flutes of Moet &
Chandon Imperial and Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label Champagne, as well as
specialty cocktails like the Ben Lomond, Lone Peak, Timpanagos and the
maple-spiced Manhattan, made with High West Rendezvous Whiskey, sweet
Vermouth, maple syrup, cinnamon, allspice and cloves. Guests can also
create custom Champagne drinks by adding mixers and garnishes like
olives, strawberries, raspberries and so on. There’s also nightly live
entertainment, passed hors d’oeuvres and cozy fur blankets to keep
guests warm.
Get Juiced
Pulp, an independent smoothie and juice bar, has opened at 51 S. Main in Salt Lake City (801-389-9442, Facebook.com/PulpSLC),
inside The Gym at City Creek Center. Pulp features drinks made with
real fruits and veggies and no added sugars, fresh juices, supplements
and “workout shots,” sandwiches and homemade soups, such as vegan
Moroccan coconut-lentil. Sounds like the perfect place to help you keep
your healthy New Year’s resolutions.
Curbside Popeyes
I’m
not particularly proud of it, but I have an inexplicable addiction to
Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen’s spicy fried chicken, shrimp po’boys, side
dishes—like red beans & rice—and, especially, their Cajun rice. A
slew of my friends and colleagues have the same jones for Popeyes.
Unfortunately, with the exception of the Thanksgiving Point store, the
only Utah Popeyes locations are secured ones: at Hill Air Force Base and
in Concourse B of the Salt Lake City International Airport. Well, I
have good news for Popeyes lovers. If you happen to be in the vicinity
of the airport, Popeyes offers free curbside delivery! Simply call
Popeyes directly at 801-322-6317, place your order and it’ll be
delivered right to your car.
