Coincidentally, another staff member bought bagels for everyone this am, so it was like a breakfast fiesta. But it was great, and maybe selfish because I got to eat doughnuts too!
Overall, a good way to start the day. Thanks to Winchells on Federal Blvd for delicious and fresh breakfast!
A new spot just opened up in the neighborhood I work in. I tried it after the Women’s March on Saturday and then again yesterday because I loved it so much the first time. I thought this would be a great opportunity to check this item off my list.
Gave a view on their Facebook page. I figured they would use some boasting.
Here’s the review: Review of CHUBurger.
If you live in Denver you should definitely check this place out!
Not sure what the definition of parade truly is, but I think going to the Women’s March in Denver, was a great way to complete this task for the year.
I will not get super political, because that is just not what my blog is about… but this is what I did today and I am glad that I was a part of it.
There were so many people there that we did not actually get to march! The path that was designated for the march was just over a mile long. There were so many people that we filled that distance plus civic center park! It was like an infinite traffic jam of people.
There was so much love there today. A great experience.
Mmmm. Beer.
Cannot complain about today, I ventured out and tried a new beer, which was not hard considering we got a new beer in at work. So I tried Scarab Red by a local Denver brewery, Oasis Brew Company.
It is a special blend of British Caramel Malts, a luscious texture and brilliant cooper color with a distinctive rich malt finish. (The brewery’s words, not mine)!
Pretty delicious. I might just have another. 😉🍺🌟
A simple task today. And hopefully meaningful to my friends Kim and Greg who lost their cat yesterday to cancer… today I donated a modest donation of $20 to the Denver Dumb Friends League.
I hope this donation can help at least one pet!
There didn’t seem a better time than during my week of trying out vegetarianism to try a new spot for lunch.
So I went to trusty Google and searched for “Vegetarian Restaurants”. There are plenty of options in Denver. Although it’s a chain, albeit one I had never heard of, Native Foods Cafe, really caught my attention. They have a huge selection of items that just don’t sound vegetarian at all… something that catches my eye as a meat eater attempting to make this week happen.
So I ventured out and ordered a Soul Bowl and some surprisingly delicious Iced Green Tea.
I truly meant to take pictures but when the food came I couldn’t contain myself. The variety of fresh veggies, rice, beans, and their “Native Chicken” pulled me in. It was a delicious lunch and a spot I would try again, even outside of this week of no meat.
As a plus, the staff was super friendly and the vibe was very relaxed. It made my little day adventure of finding a new lunch spot even more special.
After living in Denver for over five years I have discovered there are still plenty of things I haven’t explored. Looking back on the time I lived in New York I regret not getting out more and exploring the city and I don’t want to look back at Denver in the same way.
So today I cross one of those things off my list, Walking the Steps of Denver’s Capital Building. If you ever visit Denver or live here and have never done it, you should get out and easily make it happen.
If you walk the steps on the west side of the building you can stand at a mile high!
It was a great afternoon. Mia (my pup) and I walked around Civic Center Park and I took pictures! Hope you enjoy them.
