Countdown to 2016... The 7th Reason to Live in Denver Colorado!

Countdown to 2016... The 7th Reason to Live in Denver, CO is: the 16th Street Mall. This is known as the heart of downtown Denver. With over 300 shops and 50 restaurants it may take you a few trips to see everything. According to Yelp.com the #1 place to grab a bite to eat is Biker Jim's Dogs. In 2005 Biker Jim ditched his old job to open up his first side walk food cart. One cart became 3 carts and soon he was opening up his first brick and mortar restaurant. Although yelp.com lists this as the #1 restaurant. The location is actually a few blocks north of the mall on Larimer and 22nd in an area known as the ballpark neighborhood. So.... the 2nd best restaurant on the 16th Street Mall (according to yelp.com) is actually The Yard House located on the corner of 16th Street and Tremont Place. The Yard House is located in Sheraton Denver Downtown Hotel. Known for its great food, service, drink selection and excellent service; this is a go-to destination if you're walking the 16th Street Mall in downtown Denver Colorado.

Countdown to 2016 - The 8th Reason to Live in Denver Colorado - Casa Bonita - South Park and Denver Colorado

Countdown to 2016... 8 weeks left. The 8th Reason to live in Denver is.... Casa Bonita!! Oh my, my, my. What do I say about the famous Casa Bonita? Ha! I say it is quite possibly the greatest place on Earth. Now I'm a grown a** man with zero children and I still enjoy this place. Located in Lakewood, just minutes from downtown Denver and Sport Authority Field at Mile High, this place is now officially known as landmark. An article in the Westword has some good tips on how to further enjoy this staple of Denver and Lakewood Colorado:

  1. Demand a seat by the waterfall. That's right there's a waterfall in the restaurant, and divers actually jump of a cliff right in front of you to avoid being chased by a gorilla (I can't make this up). 
  2. Order beer by the bucket. This is designed to make the food taste better.
  3. Don't eat the food. Just kidding. But if you want your stomach to survive maybe just eat a little bit and hold off for the sopapillas. The sopapillas are dangerously tasty and it will make you wonder just how in the world those powdery balls of glory came from the same kitchen as the rest of the food. 
  4. Do your research and watch the South Park Season 7 Episode 11. Trey Parker said it is definitely one of his top 10 favorite South Park episodes!
