Friday Night in Park City...What To Do?

Friday!  Friday!  Friday!
Yep, it's finally here!
Don't get me wrong, I love my job and all...but sometimes the weekend just feels so good...
Even here in our little hamlet of Park City, Utah there is lots to do.
People who haven't been to Utah often get the impression that the "state is dry" or that "it's hard to get a drink" here....or that "there's no bars or night life"....but that - my friends - is simply not the case!

And to prove it to you, I will now present you with a list of things to do on Friday night in Park City...and if you have anything to add, feel free to comment and let us know...we can't be everywhere all the time and there might (just maybe) be a few things to do we've missed...but I doubt it 

Things To Do On Friday Night in Park City, Utah:
-Go to Jean Louis' Restaurant at Heber Avenue and Swede Alley just behind Main Street....Jean Louis' (or JL as us groupies like to call it has a great bar area where you can usually slide up and order a drink from the friendly and helpful staff...JL also has some TERRIFIC food options on their ever morphing menu...I usually order wine when I'm at JL but a Grey Hound or a Kettle and Soda with Lime does the trick too...and as for the menu items...well I love the Garden Vegetable Salad or the Veal Piccata...but mostly the whole menu makes me salivate and the atmosphere is pretty wonderful as well.  For a nice cozy yet socially energized evening, try Jean Louis...we'll be at the corner of the bar waiting for you!  And during the slow season there are deals to be had at JL - just look in the Park Record

-Sushi!  Sometimes, on a Friday you just feel like getting a group of friends together and going out for some sushi and sake...and in Park City you have a few choices - you can hit Flying Sumo for a fun atmosphere and great Tuna Nachos...or Oishi where you can sit at the sushi bar and get half off rolls in the off season...or try Yuki Arashi for a more modern and upscale feel...and when it comes to sake with your sushi, Utah is great because you are free to buy sake at the local liquor store and bring it with, then all you have to pay for is the corkage fee...which is minimal - this is a great option available by law in all restaurants and it can save you money - especially when you can eat as much sushi as I can 

-Stay in!...get a blanket, light a fire, get a movie on-demand or cozy up to a book...pop a bottle of wine, and dial up Speedy Fernandez to order take-out from a great list of restaurants in town.  When you're hanging out in a ski town there's nothing like staying in every now and then, putting on comfy clothes and resting up to rip some crazy turns on the mountain the next day...we love to use Speedy Fernandez for delivery from local restaurants because he delivers from some of our favorite places....AND Mr. Fernandez and his team are super nice and accommodating and love to make their customers happy...you don't know how to reach old Speedy??...have no fear - his number is 435.631.0040 or 435.631.0032...and you can get to the list of restaurants that he delivers from via this link   I recommend Nick's Greek Cafe or El Chubasco but then again Cafe Trang and Butcher'sare always delish as well...and don't forget to tell Speedy that Rachel sent you...then you'll get the extra special treatment!  ;) 

-"Dancing" you say?  Really, you want to go dancing after all that outdoor exercise?  Well, sure...I mean of course, we have Harry O's for all you dancing queens and you won't be sorry if you try it!  Harry O's is located right in the middle of Main Street and it offers the best dancing and club scene in town...They have great musical acts come through in the busy season and there's always a lot of people watching to be had...Now if you go in to Harry O's and you see a young man on the stage in a suit and tie, that's most likely Costa...you'll know him because he'll be yelling into the mic to rev up the crowd...I don't think he ever sleeps ;)  and then there's the dancing girls on the bar who have that miraculous lack of cellulite that mesmerizes the regular girls like me...so if you're in the mood to party...Harry O'sis the place to go - just try and stand there near the bar and not be magnetically pulled to the dance floor!  We dare you!   But be warned - this place is certainly a club scene and you have to be in the mood to really enjoy it.

Okay, that's all I've got for now.  Have a great weekend and watch for our next posts...I promise Rob will be getting you some nice, useful Market Updates right away because we know how you all eat those up! 

Happy Friday!
