Social Distancing with Park City's Best Eats
Posted by Heather Peterson on Monday, March 23rd, 2020 at 6:08pm.
During these uncertain times in the face of the coronavirus (COVID-1) pandemic, food is a great source of comfort. In a foodie haven like Park City, residents are grateful to still have access to delicious, local cuisine. While Summit County Health Department issued a temporary order to close restaurants and bars for dine-in offerings, they have allowed curbside pick-up and delivery. Many eateries have adapted their businesses to do just that. Not only does this provide welcome relief from cooking, but it’s an effort to sustain local businesses that are being heavily impacted in our tourism-driven town. Another option for supporting restaurants and local shops is to purchase gift cards. This provides much-needed revenue, and you can use them or give as gifts for various occasions later.
Just as restaurants are quickly adapting their businesses, we are modifying ours thanks to the use of available technology. We are showing properties via FaceTime tours. When clients have a keen interest in seeing a property in person, we will take the necessary precautions and follow CDC guidelines for social distancing and sanitization.
In between helping clients navigate Park City’s real estate market, which remains undervalued compared to other ski towns, we are taking the time to support local restaurants. Below are some favorites, followed by a complete list of restaurants offering take out. Please note that payment must be made over the phone to minimize contact upon pick up.
