• Q&A with Kevin Devine

  Photo by Denny DoesKevin Devine. Singer-songwriter Kevin Devine, the subject of a profile in this week's Westword advancing his Sunday, May 24 gig at the Marquis Theatre with Miniature Tigers, The Rouge and Brian Bonz, is the rarest of interview subjects: a guy who listeners carefully to every question and answers each as completely and honestly as he can, without regard to self-promotion or vanity. The result, accessible after the jump, is probably the longest and most extensive Q&A published

• Not-So-New-Urbanism: Stapleton

  The view west from Founder's Green... The Congress for the New Urbanism is holding its annual conference in Denver June 10-14, complete with bus tours of our most well-known new urbanist enclaves. But how do you judge walkable, neighborhood-based developments? Is it by the diversity (or lack thereof) of their residents, the number of parks nearby, their stumbling distance to a local watering hole? Over the next few days, we'll explore and judge -- oh yes, judge -- six of these developments and

• Civic Center Eats: Yo's Cheesesteaks

  ​ Nick Wrona is no stranger to the spatula. He grills cheesesteaks out of a truck these days, but he was the original executive chef at the Berkshire in Stapleton, then experimented with a crepe cart before settling on cheesesteaks six months ago. "I like this. I want to stick with this," he says. Wrona offers a standard take on the Philly classic: beef, onions and either American or provolone cheese whiz.

• Liquor at An's Lemongrass Grille

  McBoat Photography​ Starting next week, you can enjoy some alcohol with your meal at An's Lemongrass Grille -- at least the downtown location at 1617 California Street. It was recently awarded a liquor license, and the plan is to start serving beer and wine, and maybe some sake as well. The local chain also had a liquor-license hearing in mid-July for its location at 2643 West 32nd Avenue, and another last week for the An's at 2373 Central Park Boulevard in Stapleton. Assuming those went

This is less a place to stand out than it is to fit in. To stroll the "Stepford" streets is a new-urbanist nightmare of huge lookalike ho

• Tonight: Pig out on lobster at the Berkshire

  ​The Berkshire, 7352 East 29th Avenue, one of our favorite places for pig - and to pig out - is putting pork on the back-burner, at least for tonight. That's because the Stapleton-based temple of swine is hosting its first Maine lobster bake with all the required fixings - corn on the cob, steamers and a baked potato -- for $30 per person. The feast begins at 4 p.m. and continues until close; dial 303-321-4010 to book your seat.

So, it should be no surprise to find a penguin perched on a porch in the neighborhood named for the city's most celebrated street. Sandwiched between the bitterly cold Stapleton and utterly inhospitable Lowry neighborhoods, East Colfax is an incredibly rich environment that is teaming with l
