On March 18, the Beehive State will be abuzz with swooshing baskets! Vivint Smart Home Arena in Salt Lake City, UT, is hosting a second session of the NCAA playoffs. In addition to having a fabulous transit hotel near the airport and stadium, there’s plenty to do in Salt Lake. Not normally known for its consumption of alcohol, Salt Lake City actually has some of the nation’s best breweries, all conveniently near the arena. Check out Epic Brewing Company, Red Rock Brewing Company, or the Squatters Pub Brewery, just to name a few of the most popular. Of course, the Wasatch Mountain Range offers a stunning rugged backdrop to this manly daycation of basketball and brews.
Do you know the way to San Jose? We do! On March 23 & 25, the seat of Silicon Valley is hosting the West Regional rounds at the SAP Center in San Jose, CA. On the southern shore of San Francisco Bay, the area is also home to the “gastropub.” Featuring excellent cuisine with top-of-the-line beer, places like Firehouse No. 1, The Farmer’s Union, and 1621 Bistro have folks clamoring for more. There’s also some of the best Mexican fare in the country! Best burritos can be found at Cafe Rosalena, where their chorizo breakfast burrito is a real winner, or try the Florentine burrito and ask for extra orange sauce – go ahead, live a little, it’s your daycay and you’re doing it a new way with HotelsByDay!

Places like the Shake Rattle & Roll Dueling Pianos is right across the street and not only offers great drinks but has rousing live entertainment. The Pig N Whistle harks back to a time when men were men, drinks were stiff, and wallpaper was oak paneling. Touted as the best-kept cigar bar secret on the East Coast, NYC Fine Cigar is located on West 36th Street and a perfect place to stogie up après game.
