This neighborhood guide is brought to you by the SLC mayor’s deputy director of community outreach, Ashley Cleveland. These are some of her favorite places to take her kiddo, Audre, and grab some grub!

Places To Get Lunch

Santo Taco
Their Pozole Thursdays are dope. Be ready to fill your bellies – it’s all you can eat!

Tacos Daniel
A great place for caldo when it gets cold. Get a jarritos soda to go with it!

Places To Walk Your Dog

Warm Springs Park
This former community hot spring is a great place to chill in the grass under the trees!

Guadalupe Park
I firmly believe a lot of kids become best buds here.

Places for Kiddos

Marmalade Library
They sometimes host candlelit yoga and playtime!

Bike rides along 400 N
Incredible view of Capitol Hill.

Places for an Afternoon Pick-Me-Up

Blue Copper Coffee
I grab a cup of Golden Milk with oat milk for me, and a vanilla steamer for the kid on the way into work. On Mondays, you can sit outside on their round picnic table and order some tacos from @tacosdaddysfoodtruckslc.

HandleBar
Their vegan menu is always full of variety. I’m not vegan, but I’ll explore!
