Things To Do
union station
union station was the old train station in denver that got turned into a mecca of shopping and restaurants and countless beautiful things. its a wonderful place to grab a bite and people watch. one of our first trips to colorado together...they had just finished the renovation and we walked in to 'take a quick look' and stayed for almost five hours. we sipped on old fashioneds and laughed (and took selfies) and took in the wonder.
The Stanley Hotel
this is a colorado staple. this is the hotel where "the shining" was filmed...which isn't the part we like. This space is absolutely stunning. and full of history. also the coffee shop has great pastries. we took a day trip up here one perfect winter day. it was joses first time to the mountains. watching his face see the mountains standing so tall was incredible.
16th Street Mall
this outdoor mall stretches along 16th street downtown denver. it has a movie theatre. bowling alley. book stores. coffee shops. tons of shopping and has some really great restaurants. also its just so pretty when its all lit up at night. oh...and its home to our favorite pizza spot here (see right)
Marquis Pizza
whenever we land in denver we leave the airport and usually immediately (luggage still in tow) head straight here or to hapa sushi (see below) and then again on our way back to new york. go grab a slice on your way to union station.
Cherry Creek
too bougie for the pizza & bowling on 16th st...go to cherry creek. eat. drink and be fancy. cherry creek is next level pretty. and go eat at cherry creek grill (a sister restaurant to the one we work for in manhattan) while you're there.
Hapa Sushi Grill and Sake Bar
our favorite favorite sushi place. and top places to eat...everywhere. always.
Garden of the Gods Road
come on. look at that picture. just go. or drive by and take a selfie.
Sports Authority Field at Mile High Station
go see a broncos game.
and everything else
this is a "what to do in denver" type situation...it has all the info on everything to do and where to eat and all that...the city has grown so much...take a look
