A sign reading “Grind” went up at 300 Fillmore Street in Cherry Creek just a few weeks ago, prompting us to speculate whether the new business would be a coffee shop or a sausage house. A new addition to the sign spelling out “kitchen + watering hole,” combined with a…
Soul food is often misconstrued as fat-heavy comfort food — or food that’s hard on the heart but good for the soul. But Lonni Byrd, chef and co-owner of Love, Peace & Sol Cafe, a new vegan soul-food eatery at the corner of 35th Avenue and Albion Street, has a…
No. 93 Zuppa Pomorodo at Parisi Italian Market & Deli Those who have frequented the eateries of Denver’s northwest neighborhoods for the past few decades will remember when Parisi was nothing more than a simple Italian deli with some of the best sandwiches in town and a few tables in…
Big changes are afoot in northwest Denver. After four decades in the Jefferson Park neighborhood, La Loma will be moving downtown — and its home perched high on West 26th Avenue reportedly replaced by a fifteen-story story with 713 units. And Dickinson Plaza, at West 32nd Avenue and Tejon Street,…
There are many reasons to celebrate this week, and the Super Bowl win is just one of them. Tuesday is National Pancake Day, National Pizza Day and National Bagel Day (did someone say pizza bagel?) and Thomas’ Bagels is celebrating by giving bagel fanatics a chance to win free food;…
There’s going to be a lot of pizza ordered today in Denver — much of it from Papa John’s, since Peyton Manning bought 21 Denver-area franchises back in 2012 (and since the chain is offering a free pizza tomorrow to anyone who spends at least $15 online with Papa John’s…
Neighborhoods around Denver are changing — and RiNo might be changing the fastest. The area is technically part of Five Points, and picked up the RiNo nickname — short for River North, since this section is bordered by the Platte — a decade ago. Since then, the area has rapidly…
We visited Torchy’s Tacos twice this week: once to give you a look inside the shiny new Texas taqueria and once to check out what kind of Denverite would stand in line for two hours in a snow storm for said tacos — even if they were free. After the Snowtacolypse,…
Here’s a trio of new menus to get you through the day, from hearty new brunch options at Steuben’s to a spiffed-up happy hour and bar menu at Panzano to a completely updated dinner slate at the intimate Black Pearl that looks forward to spring weather. Brunch at Steuben’s 523…
No. 94: Kimchi-Jeon at Seoul BBQ Pancakes for Sunday brunch are a time-honored tradition, but if you find yourself in Aurora looking for a midday meal, a different kind of pancake at Seoul BBQ beckons and could become a new weekend tradition. Once seated at this Havana Street mainstay, you’ll…
A lawyer and a software engineer will soon be practicing a new trade in Uptown when their Frozen Matter ice cream shop opens at 530 East 19th Avenue. Geraldine Kim and Josh Gertzen found the space, next to Marg’s Taco Bistro, after a six-month search and plenty of ice cream…
After forty years, La Loma is leaving Jefferson Park — but when the current location closes at 2527 West 26th Avenue, the building where La Loma has been since 1981, the restaurant will move to an as-yet-undisclosed location downtown. And in the spring of 2017, the owners plan to open…
The city will be awash in orange and blue all weekend — as well as good food and plenty of brews — as Denver gears up to take on the Carolina Panthers in Super Bowl 50. But there are plenty of other things to do around town, from Chinese New…
Pliny the Younger, which has become one of the most sought-after beers in the world, makes its annual return to Colorado this month when California’s Russian River Brewing trucks a precious few kegs of the cult beer over the Continental Divide. Russian River has been sending the extremely-limited, draft-only triple…
Tivoli Brewing turned Denver’s beer history on its head last summer when the reincarnation of one of the Mile High City’s first breweries opened inside the original Tivoli brewery building on the Auraria campus.

How are property developers increasing the value of urban real estate? They’re scraping single-family homes, restaurants and other small businesses and replacing them with multi-unit dwellings, offices and concrete warrens of retail space. It makes good sense financially, even if it pisses off the preservationists and adds architecture of questionable…
Restaurants on Market between 14th and 15th Streets have always had the challenge of creating an identity to stand out above the evening chaos on the loudest, busiest block in the city — sexy, infuriating, dangerous. Some, like Dorchester Social Eatery, combined dining and dancing in one space and offered…
If there are two things we’re serious about here in Denver, they are football and food. And why not? Food and football just go together — and when you add a drink to the mix, suddenly you’ve got a party. This Sunday we get to combine our passions in a most…
It looked like an indie wedding, or a page out of a Pottery Barn catalogue — but it was a marijuana-pairing dinner. The Headquarters cannabis boutique team and Blackbelly Market’s Hosea Rosenberg hosted a winter dinner event last weekend where marijuana normalization reached a new high, at a sold-out (by private…
Tonight Jensen Cummings of Brewed Food is taking the beer-and-food-pairing concept to another level.
