Great used book stores. Friendly staff. Fun environment. Great musical guests and poetry readings and other neighborhood events.

Great burgers. Oldest bar in Denver. Ginsberg and Kerouac and the beats used to hang out here.

The best Restaurant I’ve ever been to. Anywhere. Cheap great italian food. Their Gnocchi with gorgonzola and walnuts is to die for.

Best nightly Jazz and Blues in Denver. An institution.

They don’t take credit cards. The owner doesn’t believe in supporting the credit card companies. They do take personal checks though. Don’t go here if you’re in a hurry. A fast dinner is just not in the cards. This place is mellow to the extreme and to their credit the staff will not be rushed. This is in no way a criticism, just a fact. this is the place to go when you want a nice leisurely dinner with friends, good conversations, and a great atmosphere that cannot be beat. Don’t forget to check out the desserts, their banana cream cake is to die for. If you see a old hippy chick with long white hair walking around, give her three cheers. That’s marilyn, the owner and a Denver institution. She’s been around since my parents moved here in the 70s and she’s always done it her way.

Best Flan I’ve had in this country! Beautiful woodwork and windows to boot!

The best croissants in America. The almond are their most popular but I recomend plain with a little bit of strawberry jam and butter. Chocolate chip cookies and chocolate nebulas are also not to be missed.
