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 ...

The Colorado Rockies organization will celebrate its fifteenth birthday next Monday, April 2nd when they play host to the Arizona Diamondbacks on Opening Day.

The first home game of the season has become a holiday of sorts for hardcore and casual baseball fans alike. The excitement is partially due to the fact that Denver plays ...

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 ...

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 ...

Skiers and snowboarders alike: take caution!

Due to the fact that Spring Break is around the corner/upon us, Breckenridge Ski Resort, among others, is cracking down on stolen and borrowed lift passes.

Essentially, don't "loan" your tickets to your friends, and don't "lift" them (like the pun?) if you find one laying around.

Fun fact: according to the resort, 40% of all pulled passes happen in March.

You've been warned.

If you still choose to ...

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 ...

One of the many wonderfully unique attributes of Denver and Colorado as a whole is our collective love of animals.  People love their dogs, their cats, their horses, you name it.  It's a state for animal lovers, and it's easily one of the more dog-friendly urban areas in the country. 

If you are one of the many animal supporters here in town, check out the Colorado Pet Expo, this ...

Do it! Okay, let me backtrack a little. I have never tried snowshoeing prior to this weekend. On Sunday I found myself at the Ritz-Carlton Bachelor Gulch. Amazing hotel with a ski lift in your backyard and trails galore. So, I head to the pro shop, and $15 later am strapping some funky contraptions to my feet.

Off we go!

I was under the impression snowshoeing was "just hiking in the snow." ...

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 ...
