Olive and Finch reminds me of a European café in the best way. It’s so quaint and lovely. They are a bakery, eatery, and market, and also serve hot breakfast. It’s located on 17th, close to Downing, and has great inside or patio seating. In true café style, you order at the counter. I got … [Read more…]

We like to hike around the Nederland area, and recently had enough time in our schedules to stop at a local bar before heading back to Denver. 1st Street Pub is your quintessential mountain dive bar, AND they have phenomenal burgers.

I recently went with a friend, and we sat on the patio, drank cocktails, and ordered some appetizers. I like The Kitchen because of the atmosphere and how delicious and … [Read more…]
After hearing that Cart-Driver made Eater’s Top 21 Best Restaurants List for 2015 in July, it was my top place I wanted to go. I had high expectations walking in, and left so impressed and full of one of the best pizzas I’ve had in the States. (Shout-out to Gusta Pizza in Florence.) It is … [Read more…]

The atmosphere is also wonderful, with a large patio and an inside with a lot of natural light. It’s located on 17th in Uptown, on Humboldt Street, in … [Read more…]

It’s a unique take on Mexican food, with an eclectic decorating style, and everything we had was delicious. We sat … [Read more…]
