If you're thinking that Salt Lake City is just a pit stop en route to a ski vacation, you may need to work up an appetite. This city, where the median age is 30.5, is home to thriving restaurants, bars and coffeehouses, all full of Utahan flavor. You could restrict yourself to downtown Salt Lake or head just 35 minutes east to the Wasatch Mountain Range, where restaurants cook fresh food at 11,000 feet above sea level.
