Food Scene

It has a retro vibe and the most divine pancakes and other breakfasts. Be forewarned, though, that you could encounter an hour wait.

Great little inexpensive and unpretentious gastropub near Denver University. Try the burrato and the caprese or grilled cheese.

Ester's is a great neighborhood restaurant and bar just a half-mile from our home. Great pizza, salads and a good selection of local microbrews.

Wonderful little Italian restaurant with mouth-watering daily specials. Try the grilled brussel sprouts as an appetizer. If you're leery of overly big portions, Shells & Sauce has an uncommonly good Happy Hour. This is a good place to go before or after the Denver Botanic Gardens, which is a short walk to the west.

Another good, inexpensive Italian restaurant with a great patio when weather permits. They have an unusual Happy Hour in late evening, after the theater. Check out their ousters.

Parkburger has a dizzying array of burgers and is fortuitously located next door to the High Point Creamery, with its homemade ice cream and frozen yogurt.

Just because. Bonnie Brae has great ice cream and yogurt and is a great place to hang out with the neighbors. On weekends, you may even get some entertainment while you're waiting in the inevitable line.

The best homemade ice cream in Denver, in my humble opinion. And it's located next door to a favorite burger place of mine.

Drinks & Nightlife

Because it's Red Rocks. This is the most stunning concert venue, and it happens to be a favorite of mine because our son and daughter-in-law were married there. Tickets can sell out quickly but take a look just in case. Go to http://www.redrocksonline.com/concerts-events for tickets unless you want to pay higher prices from an after-market seller.

Fiddler's Green is an amphitheatre in the middle of Greenwood Village, just 5-10 minutes from our home. It gets some great acts each summer. You have the choice of lawn seating or chairs.

Parks & Nature

Denver Botanic Garden is our home away from home; as retired landscapers, Jerry and I volunteer there several times a week. It's smaller than most botanic gardens, therefore easy to savor.

Arts & Culture

DCPA is another favorite of Jan's; she's a volunteer usher there because of our love of live theater. The center is home to about eight theaters, including Broadway shows, other touring shows, cabaret, black-box, symphony, dance and opera. And the best part is you can take a 20-minute light rail from the Yale Station to the Convention Center/Theater District and avoid the traffic/parking hassle of downtown.

Getting Around

The Yale RTD station is just one-third mile away and has free parking. It's the most convenient way to get downtown, allowing you to skip the traffic and parking. The best destinations are Union Station (i.e., if going to a Rockies game) or the Convention Center/Theater District.
