Denver Experiences
Food::
Jason's Deli (5302 DTC Blvd) Great toasted sandwiches, good lunch prices, would return.
Samurai (9625 E Arapahoe Rd) Sushi place that's a good value, but not great quality.
Abo's Pizza (Arapahoe Rd) Bacon pizza was absolutely incredible. Definitely would return.
Brothers BBQ (9069 E Arapahoe Rd) Decent sandwiches, a little cold, but nicely spiced and good sauces.
John Holly's (?) Expensive asian place, but high quality sushi, and the "John Holly's Fillet" was exceptional.
Coors Field::
4/24/09 Rockies vs Dodgers. Walk-up seats readily available. Field level, 11 rows back, a couple sections away from directly behind home. The stadium is wide open, especially around the left field stands. Attendance at first pitch was sparse, but nearby seats were 80% full by the 5th inning. Rockies dog was good with onions and sauerkraut, but the bun was falling apart. Lots of traveling Dodgers fans, but there were far more Rockies fans, most with Rox jerseys, jackets, or at least t-shirts. Got down to about 40-45 degrees by the end of the game (while it was mid 60s during the day).
Overall::
Denver's a great city. They are second only San Diego in terms of number of Sunny days each year. The roads are excellent, and traffic isn't usually bad (outside of rush hour). People are the typical level of friendly you see outside of New England. Public transportation needs serious work (Boston area's is far better, though Denver beats Houston's joke of a public transportation system). I'd definitely like to come back to see more of the city and to go snowboarding (mountains supposedly remain open into mid-May or later).
Later days!
