Whether it's just a quick snack and beverage at the bar or a long meal to linger over, this new-ish establishment to Cherry Creek brings an inventive menu in posh surroundings.

Congress Park is the neighborhood just north of Cherry Creek, with tree-lined streets and quaint bungalows. If Detroit-style pizza is your thing, some 'za from Blue Pan is worth the wait.

This neighborhood is built around the best park in the city (1.5+ mile running/ walking/ cycling loop around the lake), adorned with craftsman homes and lots of eateries to choose from. If you're craving a pizza, Homegrown is a fave (great gluten-free crust options), or Perdida just across the street for Baja-style Mexican cuisine and expertly made cocktails. Cap off your evening with ice cream at Bonnie Brae.
Favorite coffee shops include Wash Perk and Devil's Food Bakery.

On just the other side the highway from Downtown Denver, the Lower Highlands (LOHI) offers multiple pockets of walkable neighborhoods, with a plethora of restaurants and nightlife.
My favorites include El Five for upscale Mediterranean (a reservation is definitely needed in advance), Root Down for American fare (a great brunch menu, and very sensitive to dietary needs), Senor Bear for Latin small plates, My Neighbor Felix for Mexican, and Mizu Izakaya for sushi.
