Food scene

Great Mexican food and margaritas. Can be very busy so calling ahead is recommended. Service is not super fast but the food is worth the wait if you aren't in a hurry.

Wood-fired pizzas, Italian favorites, and a really amazing hamburger. Contemporary decor. Not crazy expensive but not cheap either.

Plenty of seating inside/outside. The bar area, a great place to watch the big game, offers seating at the bar as well as booths and tables. This restaurant is family-friendly offering a kid's menu (chicken fingers!) to color and good food at a reasonable price.

Reservations are a must! They offer 2 seatings for lunch. The latter often ends with music thumping, dancing in ski boots, and spraying Veuve. Celebrating a birthday, engagement, anniversary, or simply just being alive? Cloud nine is a must for groups of adults traveling together or anyone who wants an epic Aspen experience. Very pricey.

Best mountain for celebrity sightings... Parking in town can be a challenge and expensive. The RAFTA bus that runs through the neighborhood will drop you off in Aspen a short walk from the gondola plaza.

Lots of beginners and intermediate terrain in addition to the expert. A huge mountain that rarely feels crowded.
