On the kind of unseasonably warm days we’ve been enjoying this week, it’s impossible not to start thinking about Denver’s best patios. Some, like the patio at Jax, are just slivers of sidewalk with great people-watching; others are vast expanses of deck that create this city’s best approximation of a beach (Emerald Isle). And still others are magical, secret gardens.

But it’s no secret that we recently lost one of the town’s best courtyard gardens when Buenos Aires Grill closed last month. Now its former home at 2191 Arapahoe Street in the old Paris Hotel (first pioneered as a restaurant by the legendary La Coupole) is again available, and the featured property at Sanborn and Company.
