A Hankerin' for Hanger: A Second Helping of Westword Food & Drink, April 13-17

Is Block & Larder hanging tough with its hanging tender steak or just playing chicken? Gretchen Kurtz took in a few dinners to see what this new steak-house-styled eatery, from the owners of Freshcraft downtown, are cooking up on Tennyson Street. Farther north, we got word from Adam Roy that the games are about to begin in Fort Collins — at Dungeons & Drafts, a pub and gaming hall geared toward the seriously geeky. 

Looking for ramen and don't want to wait for a table? Miyako Ra-men Spot opened on South Broadway earlier this week and, after a one-day closure mid-week to fix a ventilation issue, is now up and running. In other news:
