Seafood. Denver is not know for seafood, obviously, but if you're craving some this place gets oysters flown in from Massachusetts every day, and their steamed mussels are amazing. I can't live without seafood, and this is one of my favorite muscle places ever.

Some may love it, some may hate it. This is the Hooters of Coffee Shops (maybe even a little more risque). It is NOT family friendly, but they do have some good burritos and drinks/coffee and the girls are friendly of course. Take that information as you wish!

Finn's not only has local beers, but at least 4 different 'eateries' (essentially permanent food trucks) in a cool little courtyard. Food typically includes BBQ, Thai, Jamaican, and the other ones sometimes change I believe.

A cool record shop. They have a 'grab bag' that is basically about 10 records in a brown wrapped package, that has a vague description, but run for about $7-10. If you like records, this is a fun thing to do. If you look downstairs in my gold record bin, you'll find a myriad of records from these grab bags. (You won't be disappointed from what bizarre things you find, lol).
