What's The Weather REALLY Like in Denver?


Just about everyone who has hosted someone from out of town in Denver has heard the complaint that this weather (whatever it happens to be) is not the way they were told the weather in Denver would be.

Primarily that is because the only real way to describe Denver weather is chaotic and unpredictable. There are a couple of reasons for this but the first comes from the ...

The 16th Street Mall



It’s a luxury for a city to have a focal point such as Denver’s 16th Street Mall. The popular strip built in 1982 is home to hotels, office buildings (including Denver’s World Trade Center), residential units, restaurants, cafes, bars and more.

On any given day you can buy anything from a loaded potato to a “How’s Your Aspen” T-Shirt from one of the many vendors. Wary travelers can ...

Hammond's Candy Factory


Candy; it comes in many different shapes and forms.  It is a product enjoyed by all.  It makes us feel like kids again. 

Hammond's Candy factory is located at 5735 North Washington Street in Denver.  If you are coming from I-25 you'll want to exit at 58th Avenue.  On 58th you will want to head east (away from the mountains).  On your right hand side you will see a Burger King, ...

Where To Find Authentic "Denver" Cuisine in Denver


Everyone is aware that the Denver Omelette originated in Denver, but it is likely that few know that Denver also claims to have originated the first cheeseburger.  Yet omelettes and cheeseburgers do not a cuisine make.  If one had to define "authentic" Denver faire, it would have to be the food that defined Denver in its early "frontier" days, the most famous dish of which is the nearly legendary "Rocky Mountain Oysters." 

To ...

Menu Foods Pet Food Recall


In light of recent events concerning food poisoning with various Menu Foods pet food products, may I suggest some healthier organic options for Fifi and Fido:

My cat really likes Newman's Own Organics, and it's the cheapest of the bunch while still being pricey. The cost of one 25-pound bag of its 70% organic dog food is almost $40. Natura Pet Products makes a 95% organic brand dubbed Karma that "fetches" (you like ...

Sparrow


Recently, as a Valentine's Day present, my girlfriend surprised me with a visit to the Sparrow restaurant in Denver.

Being a restaurant aficianado, I thought I'd been to (or at least heard of) most of the culinary pleasures that Denver has to offer. I had in fact never heard of Sparrow. So, here we are, driving down the familiar streets of downtown Denver. My curiosity had peaked about ...
