The section of 300 South that stretches between 300 and 500 West is a treasure trove of great SLC eating spots, including Tony Caputo's, Carlucci's Bakery, and Bruges Waffles and Frites. Now Dojo Asian Inspired Cuisine and Lounge can be added to that list.
Dojo, a sleek, chic space attached to the Homewood Suites hotel near the Gateway, opened just over a year ago and quickly developed a reputation for fresh, top-quality sushi, killer ramen, and creative Asian appetizers, salads and entrees. It was named one of Salt Lake City's best new restaurants for 2011 by City Weekly.

Winter is a great time to break out of old routines and discover something new. Maybe it's time to enrich your life without spending any money by taking advantage of the free days offered at Salt Lake area museums.
Some museums, such as the Chase Home Museum of Utah Folk Art and the Pioneer Memorial Museum, are always free. Other museums have regular free days - for example the Utah Museum of Fine Arts is free the first Wednesday and Saturday of every month.
