you need to stash some of your layers. Maybe you’ve packed it in, headed back down the mountain, and need sustenance in town—economical, filling nourishment. Two local favorites are La Cabanita and Wrap City—even during off seasons these lunch spots are busy. La Cabanita offers a traditional Mexican menu with homemade flair. Wrap City serves healthy salads and wraps—the Chinese chicken salad wrap is a house favorite. Subshack serves savory sandwiches on homemade bread. For tasty, affordable Asian food, try Thai Cuisine and Sushi Bar on Sixth Street. Sushi on Second offers excellent sushi in a more refined setting. Going out on the town So, if you’ve decided to spend all day on the mountain, some après-ski entertainment is in order. If cocktails, high ceilings and cushy chairs are your thing, head over to the River Run Lodge, where you’ll find plenty of live music. Looking for something more casual? Apple’s, at the Warm Springs base of the mountain, offers a lively après-ski scene that is popular with locals. Looking for grub to accompany your après-ski beer? One word: Grumpy’s—a tiny tucked-away cabin on Warm Springs Road—just look for the sign that says “Sorry, We’re Open.” Here, regulars have enjoyed burgers and beers with friends or, sometimes, a few high-rollers, including Bruce Springsteen and Tom Hanks. Alternatively, Lefty’s is another great location for beer and bar fare. It features burgers, subs and salads, and plenty of TVs tuned to sports channels. Wiseguy Pizza Pie offers hand-tossed pizzas whole or by the slice. It is located near the Cellar Pub, where you can In Ketchum, you get going on a night out.
