Spanish Tapas and Cavas in Denver at the 9th Door



So, I love Spain - that is why I am so excited about the 9th Door in LoDo, Denver's first and only tapas bar.   I went last Tuesday night to enjoy a live flamenco guitar group, sip great wine, and sample some of the tapas.  If you aren't yet familiar with tapas - you will love them.  In Spain, tapas are served as appetizers that usually accompany sherry or other aperitifs and ...

The Denver Mint, in downtown Denver was closed after 911.  I stopped by the Mint with my god son in from Minnesota, and we were turned away by armed guards.  I was disappointed because Maxie didn't ...

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:

Where to go for St. Patrick's in Denver


3 suggestions: The Celtic, Irish Snug, LoDo's

The Celtic: great atmosphere, but downtown parking is as much fun as cafeteria leftovers. It has a very "pub" feel to it. I have expect to step outside and see a castle on a picturesque mountainside. There's also a divine cherry and whipped cream dessert there. Is that traditional Irish faire? Who cares, it's really really good. PS to my fellow singles: on Tuesdays ...
