Denver is a great place to live. We have the mountains where you can hike, bike and, of course, ski. Just about every major concert comes through town and we have every major sports team possible. On top of that there are fantastic restaurants, theatre, opera, community happenings, outdoor markets, art shows, festivals, and more.

I’ve started a list of what makes Denver a great place to live. This list includes my favorite restaurants, places to shop and preferred vendors. I’ll be updating frequently and feel free to suggest anything I missed!

Sports Teams (of course!):
Denver Broncos
Denver Nuggets
Colorado Avalanche
