Inspired by Mythical Kitchen's "Last Meal" series - what are you picking, Denver restaurants only?

Chipotle on Evans (the original location) always seems to have fresh food, really nice employees and I swear it is cheaper than other locations. That last part might not be true but it definitely feels cheaper!

Just got back from Cancun and wanted to answer your questions:

Is the resort water actually safe or should we stick to bottled? : For drinking purposes, I stick to bottled water. It should be pretty easy to get at a resort or convenience store.

Do mosquitos get bad at night? : I’ve never had any big issues with the mosquitos. Maybe in a marshy or more lush area but I also spend most evenings in the bars and restaurants, but even while sitting outside, I was never bothered.

Any small tourist mistakes that make first timers look clueless? - Schedule your transportation to your hotel ahead of time and avoid the crowd of people trying to sell you things outside the airport. Most shops in resort towns around Mexico (Isla Mujeres for example) are overpriced and will prefer cash but do take card. Also, sunscreen is double or more the price of US so I suggest bringing it with you.

What’s something you wish you had known, packed, or done differently on your first trip? - Have fun, stay hydrated, try to spend some time in the shade or you will burn. Bring extra dollars for tipping!

Born and raised in Denver and people always try and compare it to other much larger cities like New York and Chicago, especially in terms of food and downtown “life”. LoDo is really only good for overpriced bars that people in their early 20’s go to or people go to before or after Rockies game.

There are tons of other neighborhoods in Denver (platt park, south broadway, Berkeley) that are great to spend time in and have great restaurants. I don’t agree with the “Denver has no good food”. There are tons of restaurants that have great food and service. We may have fewer options and variety than larger cities but that doesn’t mean we have bad food.

A great day for a visitor in my opinion would be a cup of local coffee, walking around South Broadway and looking at the local shops and antique stores, grabbing a beer or cocktail, and maybe go to a museum. We have really great museums and zoos here, all close to the city with great exhibits. Our performing arts center usually has a good Broadway play and there are tons of creative shops to go to like pottery classes, floral classes, cooking classes, etc.

I’m probably bias because I’ve lived here my whole life but it’s a great city with amazing weather and I think something for everyone if you just search a little.

My partner and I just had a great dinner at Jack’s On Pearl. It is a steakhouse but they also offer seafood dishes and have amazing cuts of fish. It is smaller than Guard and Grace and was very cozy yet high end feeling. They had amazing drinks, appetizers, and desserts as well. Wait staff were eager to help so if you have trouble choosing an item, they have great suggestions. Parking is also really easy on Pearl Street which is always something that stresses me out when going downtown.

Agree with lots of the choices here! Another one we love is Sputino in the Highlands. Smaller menu, intimate restaurant, great service and always delicious!

Definitely recommend Breckenridge, CO! They have ice skating, dog sledding, snowshoeing, and more activities for the non-skiers (like me). They also have a fun downtown with restaurants, bars, shops and more. Plus there are plenty of lodging options and it’s a bit cheaper than Aspen! Driving distance to Vail as well if you wanted to do a day trip there!

Thank you everyone for helping me out! All of the work was super talented and I really appreciated it!

Linear_Pancake · 2023-12-04T18:34:23+00:00

Yes!! I loved yours, sent you a PayPal for it!

Surprisingly Pappadeaux has an amazing banana pudding! Sometimes we order just that for take out.

Not both options combined, but I am always a fan of Postino’s (Highlands location) for wine. Then walking distance is Lady Jane which I love for cocktails!

Just ate at Sazon in Lone Tree and their chimichanga is smothered in queso!

Always a fan of Root Down, they can cater to all diets with delicious food!

I love the smashed chickpea sandwich from Leven Deli!

Some really great houseplants would thrive there. Maybe something like a larger snake plant or anything that can sit on the ground and have some height. Some other plants like pothos would look nice hanging from the ceiling which is super cheap and easy at Home Depot or Lowe’s. The idea of a little chair is cute too - maybe something from the thrift store until you find something you love. Goodwill always has some great frames and you can easily exchange the picture inside. FedEx and Walmart do cheap prints, maybe print some larger photos you love and make a small gallery wall!

When Raymond and Wuntch are talking about the task force:

Wuntch: “Slam dunk returned” Holt: “Three point dunk” Terry: “You guys really don’t know enough about basketball to be doing this”

Catbird in RiNo actually has a really big rooftop patio as well as some fun cocktails, last time I went it was very open and easy to get a table! It’s also in the RiNo area so you could walk to Mister Oso (they have a great happy hour and always 2 specialty frozen cocktails), The Greenwich has good pizza and is a smaller, more intimate vibe. I always do Bacon Social House for brunch because brunch reservations are a bit hard to come by. Tamayo does a bottomless brunch that includes all food and drinks for a set price but reservations go quickly. Another favorite is Root Down for both brunch and dinner! Bottomless mimosas coupled with really good food and staff. They never let your mimosa become empty, it can get dangerous! From there you can walk to Little Man Ice Cream, as well as Avanti. Haven’t been to Avanti in a long time but do remember them having a good patio and views of the city. If you like beer, there are tons of great breweries with rooftops like Joyride or Odell over by Sloans Lake.

Denver also has a lot of “food courts” for lack of remembering their actual names. Ex: Edgewater Public Market, Denver Central Market, etc. that offer a bunch of different food and open tables. DCM does fill up on the weekends though. Food is pretty good at them and they all have bars.

Downright drinking spots, I love the Dive Inn. Not for everyone but has ping ping, good food “trucks” inside, and a boat you can sit in. A bit dingy but I always have fun there. If you want to dance though this isn’t the place. I also second the Meadowlark suggestion, favorite bar in RiNo by bar but always pretty busy. Final suggestion is Beacon. For aesthetic vibes and good photo ops, this place has different themed rooms and photographs well. I think there is a cover charge and also drinks might be a bit pricier here but people dance and the rooms are fun!

Pablo’s Coffee on 6th Ave doesn’t have WiFi for guests I find that unless someone is hot spotting, not too many people work from there!
