Guidebook for Denver
Food Scene
Secret perk of my apartment-if they say the wait is more than 30 minutes (and it always is, but TOTALLY worth it) you can come back to my place and go back to bed and they'll text you when your table is almost ready!
There is covered, outdoor seating at this location.

Cheba Hut "Toasted Subs" is great for a quick bite. They offer a variety of sandwiches in many different sizes, and have a great bar as well. There is outdoor seating, although it is limited.

If you love doughnuts, look no further. These guys are open 24/7 and you can almost always expect a line-but it's worth it!

I love The Source-it's a artisan food market located in a landmark 1880s building featuring 13 vendors and a brewery. This is probably one of my favorite breweries in Denver-if you like sour beer you MUST try Crooked Stave while you're in town!

This is a fun bar/restaurant for everyone in the family! It could be a creative date-night spot, or a place to enjoy with the kiddos on during brunch or in the afternoon. Punch Bowl does have great "adult punch" drinks and a fun bowling area as well as additional arcade games, a beautiful bar, and a large menu.

Shopping
This is a pretty iconic area in the heart of downtown Denver. You never know what you'll see on the 16th Street Mall, from people playing piano on the street and horse and carriage rides, to balloon artists or the next up-and-coming restaurant. This area has tons of touristy shops-great for gifts! To note: I typically recommend people pay to park in the Denver Pavilions parking garage and utilize the free shuttle that runs up and down 16th Street Mall to get around if walking is out of the questions.

If your'e looking for high end shopping in Denver, this is your spot. While they do have your typical mall stores such as Macy's, Wetzels Pretzels, Lids, and Victoria's Secret, they also feature a wide variety of luxury boutiques such as Louis Vuitton, Stuart Weitzman, and David Yurman.

If you haven't been to a Trader Joes, I'm so sorry. I love this place. They have a good selection of Colorado craft beers and wine-unlike most grocery stores in the area. And the produce is top notch. It is great for specialty items.
