Things To Do
BurnDown
BurnDown is a 3-story warehouse on S. Broadway converted into a restaurant and bar after it, well, burned down. We recommend their brunch, especially the half-off espresso martinis!
Steuben's Uptown
Steuben's is a downtown favorite of ours! Great cocktails and comforting, elevated American diner-style offerings. If you go, ask for George!
La Doña Mezcaleria
La Doña Mezcaleria has a great taco Tuesday, as well as delicious drinks and Mexican street food offerings.
The Original
We love brunch here: it was our first sit-down date! We return every year to celebrate our good fortune with good food.
Devil's Food Bakery
Devil's Food is a Denver classic, patronized by Christina since she was a kid. Delicious bakery items and craft coffee in the Wash Park neighborhood. Check out the rest of South Gaylord Street while you sip.
