welcomed dogs on deer valley grocers patio in park city

Park City has long been dubbed “Bark City” due to our dog-centric lifestyle. And we don’t limit our dog-obsessed culture to mountain biking and hiking with our dogs. We dine with them whenever possible during our gorgeous summer months. Throughout Park City, there are an array of outdoor dining patios at various restaurants that welcome Fido. So whether you live in this amazing mountain town or are just visiting with your furbaby, here are four of our favorite options to consider.

Deer Valley Grocery Cafe
Its expansive patio overlooking the Deer Valley ponds at Snow Park, gourmet fare, and ample parking make Deer Valley Grocery Cafe a casual hot spot for breakfast, lunch, and early dinner. Dogs have plenty of space to relax by their owners’ tables.…

HOW WILL YOU RISE

Park City is known for being home to many elite athletes, Maryquenn Vellinga being among them. Maryguenn knows boxing, she will willingly talk about her love for boxing anyplace, anytime. But rarely talks about her ranking within the USA Boxing Elite. Maryguenn is a fierce competitor and an equally fierce coach and fitness instructor. She has taught fitness and boxing here in Park City for several years and now after a lot of blood, sweat, and market research, she and her husband Luke are opening their own fitness boxing studio here in Park City. This week I had the honor of sitting ringside and talking with Maryguenn about her love of family, boxing, and Park City.

Where did your love of boxing come from?
Seven years ago at the…

IT'S ALL IN THE DETAILS

Just off the beaten path of Park Ave, you can find a cafe full of delicious meals and coffee literally flown in from the other side of the planet. Owners Andrew and Tiffany who hail from Australia, and their manager Gabe have gone to great lengths to make sure that your experience at Five Seeds is not only delicious but full of culture. This week I had the pleasure of sitting with Andrew, Tiffany, Gabe, and a table full of their incredible food. We talked about their love of food, their homeland of Australia, and how they brought it all together for the folks of Park City.

What brought you all to Park City?
Skiing of course!! Our kids (they have 5, hence the name 5 Seeds) love skiing and ski racing. We came here from…

For the love of tea

According to Townshend's Tea, Charles Townshend (their name sake) is the reason tea is often an underdog to coffee, he penned the Tea Act which led to a widespread boycott on tea and ultimately the infamous Boston Tea Party, causing people to fill their mugs with a certain dark acidic brew and sowing the seeds of our current coffee culture. However, Polly Rhim co/owner of Townshend's Tea-Park City, is making a valiant effort to change all that. This week Polly and I sat down at the tea house over cups of delicious tea, and talked about how she brought Townshend's Tea to Utah.

How did you get in the tea business?
Well I grew up in Oregon, Townshend's has several locations up there. They have the best Chai I have ever had. And…

CREATIVE RISK

Its more than a "paint night", its a chance to take a creative risk, laugh, meet new people and get some much needed art therapy. All of that and much more can be obtained at The Paint Mixer. This week I happily sat down with Jill Johnson, the owner and Chief Creative Officer of The Paint Mixer, and we talked about why The Paint Mixer is one of the best ways to Enjoy Park City.

What inspired you to buy The Paint Mixer?
My husband Matt and I were looking to get out of corporate and start a business of our own. I come from a long line of entrepreneurs, its in my blood. We were working with a broker looking at different ventures when I was contacted by Paint Mixer. They had read my profile (Jill has a background in art therapy) and…

The Golden Rule 

Treating others as you want to be treated, this is the golden rule we have all grown up trying to follow. Park City Vacation Rental Properties owner/founder Jim Bizily has taken this rule into business and it seems to be working rather well for him. Park City Vacation Properties was just voted Park City's best for the third consecutive year. This week I had the pleasure of talking with him about how he and his team strive to provide the best in property management and so much more.

What inspired you to start Park City Vacation Rentals?
Many years ago I ran a lasik surgical center in San Diego. I could never find a good quality property management company. So I decided to create one from the vantage point of the property owner, and run it…

A passion for skiing

Imagine your best friend owning a top of the line ski shop, and all your friends work there, and they are the very best at what they do. This is exactly what you will find at Jackson's Basecamp. This week I got the chance to hang out and chat with Jackson and his crew at Jackson's Basecamp, which has been completely remodeled and reVAMPED!! Jackson and his team (entirely all Parkites) just finished revamping the entire store, even making new fixture's by hand from recycled local products. They even used fallen aspen trees as racks for the helmets. Every inch of Jackson's Basecamp is pure GENUIS.

What inspired you to open Jackson's Basecamp?
 I have always had a passion for skiing. While other kids were playing fireman and astronaut,…

GOURMET ON THE GO

The historic Imperial House at the top of Main was impeccably renovated last year and is now home to Riverhorse Provisions. Riverhorse on Main's co-owner Seth Adams is responsible for the revival of this historic land mark. However chef Mark Peterson has taken RHP on as his baby, and transformed the Imperial House into a gourmet cafe/market, truly unique to Park City. Recently I got to sit with Mark and talk about how RHP is one of the best of places to Enjoy Park City.

How long has RHP been open?
Almost a year, we opened last December. And we had quite an eventful month. Upstairs in the market shortly after the new wood shelves had been stained the rags used spontaneously combusted inside a garbage can starting a fire in the middle…
