As a venue, I can only give the highest of marks to the Salt Lake Hardware Building. Drop. Dead…read more Sexy. This old building has been totally and sleekly remodeled with homage to the past that respects the amazing bones of the building. One of my favorite buildings in the city. Perhaps my favorite part of the building is the rough hewn timber columns and joists that serve as the raw skeleton. Plenty of exposed brick walls also abound, and I'm completely charmed by the old spiral slide that used to shuttle manufactured goods from the upper floors all the way down. It's been preserved and gives incredible character to the space for weddings, parties, fundraisers and more. This is all coming from the point of view of an attendee; to date I've never worked with the fine folks behind the building and have only attended events in the space. They host some pretty remarkable events, so I've got to think they're on top of things. When they're not hosting events (and even when they are), the building is home to all kinds of offices from the tech to the more mundane. There's lots of parking on the north side of the building, which empties out rapidly at the end of business hours. The south side of the building is now nearly kissing a new bridge for Trax, so it's best to just turn in from the north and you can find parking further north or east. I always look forward to events at the SL Hardware Building. It's classy but still casual, convenient, and a stellar spot in SLC. Kudos to those who made the expensive decision to spruce it back up and honor the past. Well done!

I would give it another try based on the appearance of the restaurant. It's very sheek. Maybe they had an off day or we ordered wrong. The service was decent, not friendly but adequate.

Stephanie was so responsive to my needs and questions.

First off, it should be made clear that this review comes from the point of view of attendee and…read morenot event planner/coordinator. I haven't dealt with the people behind Pierpont, but rather been to an event at Pierpont. So if I ever do plan an event here (which *ahem* I'd love to do) I'll be sure to fill in the deets from the other side. What I can say is that I really dig this space. Located on one of the most personality-filled streets in the city, it's just crawling with character. I'm unfamiliar with the history of the building, but would love to know the backstory. Now it's a beautiful, long and not so very narrow space with a high ceiling and windows all along the north end. It's not quite an industrial feel--it's nicer than all of that. But it's got a city vibe to it that's just kind of special. They host all kinds of events there. Tonight was a tasting event that showed off a simple decor, a few cocktail tables, a small raised stage, and some nice lighting. I would presume the kitchen facilities were adequate, as there were two chefs there preparing a couple small bites. The staff was great. On top of dish service, all smiles. I stuck around until after the official event hours were over, and it was fun to see the staff whip the place back into tidy shape while making plans for post-event mischief. Classy. I'm going with classy. A classy, unstuffy place to have an event.

I think everyone deserves to call something so stunning their home. Now the reality is that only a few individuals can afford to live in something so grand. Alfred McCune was the wealthiest man in town. He was a railroad builder and a partner in Peruvian mines. It took three years to complete this house. While we weren't able to look inside the mansion we strolled around and awed at the exterior of the house. You can rent this home for a few hours for weddings and other occasions. You can call (801) 533-0858 ext. 104 and see if they do historic tours.

BoxCar is one of those "hidden gems" that you may not even know exists. I thought I knew everything…read morethere is to know about Salt Lake City, but boy was I wrong. How did I not know such an awesome place exists? For one, it can be difficult to find--especially at night. Either it was dark and I suck at seeing (both of those are very true but shhhhh), or it really is THAT hard to find. BoxCar is incredible but can almost be overwhelming because there is SO MUCH stuff in there. I believe it is a warehouse with about 30,000 square feet but there is definitely 40,000 square feet of things in there...but that is also the beauty of it. The artists are able to turn anything into something; there is patterns, there is abstract work, there is EVERYTHING. They have some cute animals that roam the building every once in a while and the people are all friendly--it feels like a family. My favorite art piece at Box Car was the stack of TVs. It was like nothing I have ever seen before and I just found it fascinating that they were able to come up with such a unique design. The highlight of my trip at Box Car was without a doubt, the light show. How freaking cool?! I can't imagine how much work it took. They had so many awesome elements during the light show as well including the water, wind and sounds. It was not just lights. They also had an awesome display at the front of the room. I just cannot imagine how much work goes into that light show and it is one of the coolest things I have ever experienced. I would go back to BoxCar just for the light show!

I visited BoxCar studios a few weeks ago and haven't stopped thinking about it since. BoxCar…read moreStudios is a place that fosters a community for artists by creating an environment where everything belongs. The studio is whimsically eclectic and wildly fascinating. Wandering around the studio  invoked a childlike wonder and deep sense of curiosity in me that I haven't connected with in years. Their careful collection of so many things I never knew existed combined with other things I was able to get reacquainted with felt like an "I Spy" book come to life and I was absolutely in awe of their thoughtful curation every second of my visit. The environment feels like the best fever dream you've ever been in where you're transported to a collection of attics of the coolest people you've ever known combined with a workshop, a tattoo parlor,  a bar, and an antique store. What I love most about this place is the community they've created that has an underlying notion and bold notion of making sure everything and everyone belongs. Every single person I met was interesting, welcoming, and genuine.  Essentially, BoxCar is a place that demonstrates a tangibility to the idea that just because something is discarded by one person, doesn't mean it's not valuable to another. I felt like I entered a different and more magical world in a different time, taking my mind off anything else that seemed pressing in my life. This place isn't trendy and not everyone will enjoy it,  but if you love originality and character, this is the place. I found it insanely cool and I could not have possibly enjoyed my time more.
