10 Things to Do in Denver Before You Die
(according to Citysearch)
1. Invesco Field at Mile High Stadium
1701 Bryant St, Denver, CO
Pack a cooler and folding chairs and hit the parking lot before a Broncos game to watch the football fanatics.
2.National Western Complex
4655 Humboldt St, Denver, CO
Don't miss the National Western Stock Show, especially the mutton-busting, a hilarious event where kids ride bucking sheep--bronco-style.
3.Red Rocks Amphitheatre
Red Rocks Park, Morrison, CO
Grab a back-row seat for a memorable evening of sweeping mountain views intermingled with the sound of music.
4.Cruise Room
1600 17th St, Denver, CO
Sip a Lala (muddled fruit martini) in the rosy glow of this art-deco bar, modeled after one on the Queen Mary.
5.Coors Field
2001 Blake St, Denver, CO
Watch altitude-induced home runs float out of the field from the cheap and rowdy Rockpile seats.
6.Brown Palace Hotel
321 17th St, Denver, CO
For a dose of culture and tradition, take afternoon tea in the beautiful, historic atrium lobby.
7.Bonnie Brae Ice Cream
799 S University Blvd, Denver, CO
Line up along the sidewalk and prepare to order one (or more) of many daily changing homemade flavors.
8.Buckhorn Exchange
1000 Osage St, Denver, CO
Enjoy a juicy steak at Denver's oldest restaurant and request table 21 or 22--the ones with cushiony, oversized chairs.
9.El Chapultepec
1962 Market St, Denver, CO
Get so close to the hard-and-fast-playing jazz musicians at "The Pec" that you'll feel the saxophone blow in your face.
10.Carmine's on Penn
92 S Pennsylvania St, Denver, CO
Arrive early (around 5pm) in the summertime to get a desirable patio seat--they're limited and reservations aren't accepted.
