DIA: New waiting area
http://www.9news.com/news/article/35...w-waiting-area
The restaurants include the first-ever Denver metro-area Dunkin' Donuts - which includes a 24-hour drive-thru - ZPizza, which offers organic ingredients, Subway and Baja Fresh Mexican Grill. Visitors will also have access to free Wi-Fi in the building and the parking lot. There is a children's seating area with iPads built into the tables, as well as lounge seating, flight information display boards and access to the adjacent Conoco fueling station. |
Forget the waiting area, DIA needs more close-in parking. The Garage lots are full every Tuesday around noon and only free up on Thursday. I literally won't book flights that leave Tuesday afternoon or Wednesday if I can avoid it, just because of this.

The article doesn't say if this is supposed to replace or supplement the 45-minute waiting area. I'm guessing supplement--the 45-minute lot is packed to the gills every time I drive by it. This is essentially on the site of the Conoco gas station. I wonder if the restaurants get to charge 10% more than market rate like the gas station gets to? :D :D :D |

I do like how EWR had signs all over the place citing a law stating the pricing of goods must be equivalent to prices found in NYC. |
I want to go just to check out the Dunkin Doughnuts. They were supposed to build several in the Denver area a year or so ago but haven't heard anything of that venture recently.
I have used the previous cellphone lot. Man, was that the worst place. It was always crowded. |
Its tempting to just go to get some Dunkin doughnuts. I had to drive to the terminal today; all of the close economy lots were full, the valet parking on the east side was closed, but thankfully the short term parking had a few spots. The only thing open for regular parking was the Pikes Peak lot. They really need a couple of high-rise parking garages closer in, although the Pikes Peak shuttle buses are pretty quick.

9News says it's the first Dunkin' Donuts ever in Denver, but I clearly remember one at Monaco and Leetsdale in the 80s.
Unless I'm senile. :D :D :D |
Make that 2 Denver Dunkin' Donuts opening the same day.....
DIA + 366 Broadway [per the Westword] Sure - they'll rake in the bucks on Broadway but that area's already a mess. |
