Reader support matters more than ever
We're in the final stretch of our summer campaign. Our goal is to raise $25,000 by August 9 to support the journalism our community relies on. Reader support is helping shape the future of local news.
Union Station unveiled its renovation in the summer of 2014, and now it’s making a good thing better, with some tweaking of the eating options: Acme Burger has become Acme Delicatessen, for example, and that front patio is turning into a beer garden. And this morning, the Union Station Farmers’ Market will be dedicated at 9 a.m., then return every Saturday from 9 a.m. until 2 p.m. through October 22. The project is a partnership with the award-winning Boulder Farmers’ Market, and the lineup includes dozens of vendors, as well as chef demonstrations (Peter Varkonyi of Beast + Bottle is on tap today).
But no matter how good that market looks, don’t forget to stop in the station itself. Says Carole:
Union Station is a jewel for the city of Denver. It is a destination. The restaurants are great, the cocktails better and the people watching the best. For those that don’t think it’s anything; please just stay away. The rest of us will continue to enjoy it. You’ll never know what you’re missing.
Adds Ralph:
It’s a destination for myself and friends. We go for the selection and convenience of quality options. Not to travel. The renovation to me has been a great success.
