This place has a silly name and a strip mall location, but the food is delicious. The sashimi is wonderful, the rolls are delicious, and the Bento Box is superb. 2 miles from my house.

They make their ice cream- and it's fabulous! My favorite is the Whiskey Brittle and Salted Butterscotch on a cone. Yuuuum. It's a fun spot- always hopping, and people watching, cool nearby shops, lots of bars, and the Mayan Theater are added bonuses.

Awesome pizza and sides in a fun, cool atmosphere. Right across the street from the movie theater and parking. It is always busy, so allow time to get seated and for your food. The theme is a little psychedelic here......and the names of the dishes will amuse anyone with a sense of humor and an intact memory from the 60's and 70's. 2 miles from my house.

Great food and drinks. Nice atmosphere- it's big, so I've always been able to get a seat, even on Sundays. Get your N'awlins on, and chow down on fresh seafood, the best grits EVER, and a big selection of other yummy things. The Sunday brunch is amazing!

Try the maple latte in the fall, and Kouign-amann pastry anytime! So simple, yet soooooo delicious! Their coffee is strong, and will wake you out of any over-doing that you might have done yesterday, whether outdoors or at the bar.

The address available is wrong. It's actually in Southglenn, 2 miles away from the house. Awesome breakfast. Super busy place- usually a wait on the weekends. You can always fuel up with coffee from Peet's next door while you wait. :-)

This is a movie theater that also happens to have great food and a full bar. The concept is super cool, and they pull it off marvelously. For serious film-goers- they have a strict no talking, texting, or coming in late policy. They show old films, new films, cult films, and your popcorn is delivered to you in a bowl, which you can share with your seat partner on the little table between you. No pressure to order drinks or food if you are just there for the movie.

What can I say- we have THE best music venue in the world, right here in Denver. You can get to Red Rocks in 45 minutes door to "door" from my house. If you don't have a concert to go to, you can always check it out during the day- and imagine and dream of when you're going to come back and experience this magical place.

Parks & Nature
You just really need to see this place- one of my favorite places to take my visitors. The dramatic rock formations against the backdrop of Pikes Peak, easy hikes for families, a great visitor center. Oh yeah, and it's FREE! It's very close to the town of Manitou Springs, which is charming, and makes a great stop to top off your outing. If you're all adults, have a drink at the Royal Tavern in the middle of town. If you're with tykes, (or without!) check out the vintage arcade next to the Royal. Get some taffy at Patsy's!

If you're going to Boulder for the day, you might want to stop at this scenic place. In the summer there's a pool, filled by the spring, that is a lovely place to cool off.
