Residence Inn
Denver City Center
1725 Champa Street
Denver, CO 80202
303-296-3444
|
This was a brand new Residence Inn. I think it opened maybe a month before we arrived. Everyone just loved it. The staff was
great, there was breakfast every day, and snacks at Happy Hour during the week. They had both studios and two bedroom suites
available. The rooms were beautiful if not particularly big. Lots of light. Laundry facilities onsite. Just great; we all
wanted to stay here for good!

Rocky Mountain Diner
800 18th Street
Denver, CO 80202
|
Local joint; much better than a typical diner. Big crowds at lunchtime so get there early. Great biscuits and gravy. The cakes
are huge. Good solid diner food in a nice setting. Just around the corner from the Residence Inn.

Another nice steakhouse in one of our many Monday night dinners. Not cheap, but very good service, food, etc. Located near
the Oxford Club (see spas). A few blocks off of the train line.

Nice sushi place. It was in a small complex, so it's set back off of the street. Popular with the locals. Pretty good sushi
if I recall. Quite a few of us ate there several times.

Atlas Case Company
1380 S. Cherokee Street
Denver, CO 80223
303-778-7058
|
Once I had re-signed for a second year I decided I wanted a real "road box." I found this place that carried ATA
cases in stock that fit the Equity dimensions (90" linear). I did have wheels put on mine that bumped it slightly over
that measurement. Atlas Cases was just great to work with. Since we were in Denver two weeks, I went to order it my first
week and had it delivered to my hotel the second week. It's been holding up just great and it made my life so much easier.

Denver Butterfly Pavilion

Located about 10 miles outside of Denver, this is a fun day trip. The pavilion has butterflies, bugs, a tarantula named Rosie
that you can hold. The centerpiece is a huge atrium where butterflies "roam" freely. They even release new butterflies
every day. You won't need a lot of time to spend there, but it's pretty cool. Wear bright to attract the butterflies to you.
