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 ...

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 ...

Hey all! Here I am in the beautiful city of Denver, Colorado, and I have the need to explore. Nay, the desire to be a tourist in my hometown.

So, with that said, let's throw our keys into the fishbowl at the virtual front door and wander off into the wild blue yonder.

First task ... finding the elusive perfect happy hour. The best drinks, the best vibe for an eclectic mix ...

Be sure to pick up today's Denver Post to get your copy of Colorado Eats 2007, or check out the online version here.  It's an expansive look at restaurants in and around the Denver area, as well the suburbs, the front range, and the high country.  Those familiar with Denver's culinary scene might notice some omissions of great dining venues, but the value of this guide ...

Like the sign on its web site says, Vita is a terrific place to eat, drink, and live--even if you're just visiting.  Located in Lower Highlands at 1575 Boulder Street, just west of the Platte River, Vita is a bit removed from the fracas of LoDo, but still a short cab ride or nice walk from central Denver.  Offering up some innovative modern dishes with a distinctly Italian flare, ...

While Denver may not be able to compete with the New Yorks of the world in the culinary arena, the Mile High City is however home to an underestimated assortment of great restaurants and terrific chefs.  You can explore many of them during Denver Restaurant Week, from February 24 to March 2.  From newly established sophisticated urban eateries to classic local favorites, dozens and dozens of Denver area restaurants ...

In the depths of Denver (at 1553 Platte Street) is a wine bar and coffee house that has held the loyalty of coffee fanatics for more than twenty years. With convenient access from I-25 and a quaint attitude, Paris on the Platte has excellent coffee and memorable amenities to compliments the artistic atmosphere and stereotypically cool service.

A new exhibit of local art opened there last ...

If you find yourself in the Mile High City on Valentine’s Day, here are a few suggestions for where to take and what to do with that special someone.  These may not be the most romantic ideas you’ve ever heard (I'm a guy, what did you expect?), but you’ll be sure to have a good time.

Vesta Dipping Grill:  The quintessential hip urban eatery.  You’ll be cooler for having dined here.  ...

This might be in the realm of the painfully obvious, but if you're looking for the best breakfast diner in Denver, stop what you're doing and head straight for Pete's Kitchen.  Located just a few minutes east of downtown, at 1962 East Colfax Avenue, Pete's is without a doubt a staple on the Denver culinary scene.  Open 24 hours a ...

When it comes to pizza, travelers know better than anyone else that region makes all the difference. A deep Chicago pan pizza is only a passing cousin to paper-this New York pizza, and California pies are gourmet confections that baffle the simple palette of mid-western pizza lovers. Colorado has it’s own style of pizza pie as well, brought to us by the rough and ready ...
