Many people say that ALL the restaurants
in Moab close for the winter...that is simply not true.
Moab Happenings spent several hours calling
our dining comrades and acquired their winter schedules.
Of the 45 restaurants in Moab, only five are closing
for the month of December. I have noticed for the past
two “off-seasons” the eating establishments
of Moab have become more accommodating to their dining
customers in the wintertime. Every place is not open every
day, but with a little planning, you can find several
wonderful dining choices. Because of the decreased public
demand it is only prudent that many of them change their
schedules and are only open certain days of the week.
For specific times and locations check out the Moab
Restaurant Guide on pages 15-18 of this issue.
Also remember to check out the Holiday Happenings coupon
packet (you received in it the mail, if you live here....or
pick one up at the Moab Information Center, if you don’t
live here) for many special deals on dining and shopping
in Moab this Holiday season.
