If you like trendy ramen restaurants, you'll love Uncle. Modeled after Momofuko in NYC, Uncle is a small venue but worth the wait. Try the salt & pepper quail & a shrimp bun to start your meal.

At The Populist we firmly believe that dining is a communal act. Owners Jonathan Power, Noah Price, and Cliff White strive to emphasize this philosophy at every turn. From the numerous community tables to the nature and construction of the dishes on the menu: sharing your environment and your food is emphatically supported. Chef Power presents a regularly changing lineup of New American small plates that both excite and challenge diners. An approachable but nuanced wine list brings excellent bottles from lesser known winemakers to the table. And the cocktail list --featuring both classic and contemporary variations-- drives home the point that this intimate eatery seeks to provide a unique a

If you've been to Portland, you may have been to the original Voodoo Doughnut. Denver is one of the few locations outside Oregon. Everyone should try it at least once. Satisfy your sweet tooth with these sugary doughnut creations 24/7! (There is usually a line btw.)

To us, this is a Denver staple. Our friend John started the place a little over a decade ago. There is a really cool about the startup process when John went to live in Guatemala before he had enough money to support the restaurant and himself.... pretty rad dedication that paid off. We salute you, John! There's always a wait. Top notch breakfast spot. Fun design and incredible food. I recommend any of the gourmet pancakes, the breakfast burrito, mimosas - actually, just about everything on the menu...

City O City is a vegetarian restaurant with lots of vegan options. They also bake their own pastries, have a coffee bar, and a full bar. It's good for a meal, a breakfast, a coffee, happy hour, or meeting someone for drinks. The menu is great if you're vegetarian and tired of eating the same thing all of the time.

This is a new concept. It's been described as a modern, fancier food hall or food court. There are two levels, the top overlooking downtown Denver and the mountains. The cool this about this spot is that there are 5-6 mini restaurants within it! Basically, everyone in your group can get food from different restaurants and eat inside or outside while enjoying a drink from the main bars and beautiful views! My favorite restaurant is MiJo, an udon noodle spot.

One of the coolest places to hang out. It is built in the shape of a giant milk can. They always have new flavors of ice cream. Aside from the family-friendly Hirshorn Park across the street, this is the place to see and be seen on "the scene." You may stand in line for half-an-hour to an hour to engage in people watching and to socializing in the afternoon, in the evening before going out for the night or later in the evening as a start to your night. It is nestled between two good restaurants and bars, Linger and Lola's.

"A mortuary converted into a trendy bar and restaurant. The rooftop bar/patio overlooks Denver. " "Linger, which sits in the refabbed Olinger parking garage—a jam-packed, multilevel space with a box view of the skyline. Drink in the experience at the bar from the rooftop patio, or through the main dining room’s enormous garage-door windows. Linger’s menu—an enticing mishmash of street food from around the globe—banishes the entrée in favor of share-it-around small plates. Instead of being trite, portions are generous and prices (which hover around $10) are downright reasonable. It’s not unusual to get your fill (plus drinks) for $30 a person. " ~5280 Magazine

Vine Street is a brewery with great food, not just pub food by any means. Its walking distance from the house, not SUPER close but doable, about a mile. They make great beers and have great murals inside. I've always had great service here. *Tip: its cash only but they have an ATM that is only 1 dollar.

Sightseeing

Really cute and relaxing botanic park. Great place to visit anytime of the year. Spring: I recommend relaxing among the blooming lilacs! Summer: The entire place is blooming and magical ;-) Fall: The corn maze and pumpkin patch at the Chatfeild Botanic Gardens (30 minutes south) Winter: The greenhouse is like a tropical getaway and the Japanese garden is so peaceful and beautiful in the winter. There is a fun and educational Children's garden and the Hive Cafe is great and serves food from their own garden! Look online to see what days are free!
