2914 Coffee may seem like an obvious name for a shop going in at 2914 West 25th Avenue, but it wasn’t just the address that prompted owner Anthony Davis to choose that name for his new spot. “The numbers are meaningful because they’re my anniversary,” Davis explained when he announced…
This, in my humble (or not) opinion, gets my vote for the best hummus in Denver. Smooth, nutty, tart with lemon, dusted with sumac and wreathed in olive oil, it’s so good that I always order a second one to take home. Can you guess where I’m eating? Special bonus:…

For Street 16, our culinary homage to March Madness, we called in the cartologists and pulled out our history books. The LoDo Historic District, for example, was created before Denver had a major league baseball team, much less Coors Field; technically, LoDo ends at the alley between Market and Larimer…
It’s been 25 years since husband-and-wife team Thai Nguyen and Ha Pham took over New Saigon, which I reviewed last week, and in their capable hands, one of the oldest Vietnamese restaurants in the city has remained one of the best. So I was stoked when the New Saigon Bakery…

After spending the weekend scrounging for food in Lakewood — more accurately, Applewood — I was ready to give up. I’d pushed away an inedible pizza, spit out sushi, sobbed over the limp and cold fries at Smashburger…and even the frozen yogurt I got to console myself sucked. The best…
For 34 years, people have flocked to Caldonia’s Tavern and Roadside BBQ for beers and ‘cue, parking on the large patio in warm weather, huddling in front of the TVs inside to watch sports the rest of the year. But if you were looking forward to celebrating the return of…

Is South Pearl Street being overrun by pizza joints? Last week, Sexy Pizza opened in the former home of the Crushery, just a block away from the popular Kaos. But the comments have Harris wondering if South Pearl has really been overrun by hipster doofuses and douchebags:…
Although I certainly appreciate craft cocktails, there’s a special place in my heart for white-trash margaritas that come in a multitude of colors and fill birdbath-sized glasses. Is that nuclear juice made in a blender with flavored syrup and alcohol that’s maybe not even tequila? Bring it on. So I’ve…
