It will be an upscale, yet approachable, wine and cocktail lounge with a chef-driven menu.“The landlord has purposely left the space vacant for so long because he’s been fortunate enough to be selective on the lease,” Chunn said. “Luckily, he was willing to take a chance on us.”Who’s cooking: Chef Todd Bobrovicz has worked his way through the Denver food scene over the past two de...

The espresso martini is back, baby, and is better than ever

Published Mon, 11 Nov 2024 11:05:26 GMT

Based on the menus across Denver, espresso martinis have graduated from a quirky novelty to a classy cocktail served with as much seriousness as a Manhattan or a Gibson.Head to the Art Hotel for one of the drinks featured during the Espresso Martini Fest, the Nighthawks Espresso Martini. (Provided by the Art Hotel)“Over the last two years, anybody and everybody is drinking them,” said Brent Rutgers, bar manager at A5 Steakhouse in downtown Denver. “There’s alcohol and caffeine in it, and it’s delicious as a pre-meal drink, a post-meal drink or even dessert.”Really, he added, an espresso martini works with whatever mood you’re in, it’s that versatile. Just don’t try and pair it with savory food. Due to the bold coffee flavor, sweetness and booziness, nothing — save for select desserts — goes well flavor-wise with one. Not that that should stop you from ordering it.“The espresso martini has that fajita effect,R...

Draw! It’s cowboy vs. cowboy at the Denver Art Museum and MCA

Published Mon, 11 Nov 2024 11:05:26 GMT

It’s hard to imagine two exhibitions that might complement each other as well as the pair of cowboy art shows that opened here over the past two weeks.At the Denver Art Museum: “The Russells in Denver, 1921,” which aims to recreate the spirit of an exhibition the Western art icon Charles Marion Russell staged at the city’s landmark Brown Palace Hotel 122 years ago.Related: Now at MCA Denver: A provocative new exhibit blows up the myths of the sturdy western iconAt the Museum of Contemporary Art Denver: “Cowboy,” a multi-media group show that documents how today’s artists are depicting the oldest profession this side of the Mississippi.The set-up is nearly perfect. Coming at us from one direction, one of the great myth-makers of American art. And from the other, a horde of myth-breakers, who trade on tearing down cultural stereotypes.You should see both, though I suggest starting with DAM. That is where this story begins.“The Russells in Denver, 1921” is a modest exhibition by the mu...

Each week, we offer our opinions on the best that Colorado has to offer for dining, shopping, entertainment, outdoor activities and more.

As a soup fanatic, the recipes below (plus a pasta for the soup haters) are my favorites. Both make great leftovers and are filling enough to stand alone or act as a side or starter.Happy fall, ya’ll. And happy cooking!Minestrone SoupSince I was a kid, this family recipe has been one of my favorites and I’ve perfected it over the years. It’s packed with veggies and feels like a w...
