Strings

Noel Cunningham, who founded Strings in 1986, passed away on December 1, 2011. He was more than a cook; he was Denver's culinary conscience. For well over two decades, he made very good food at Strings, his new-American restaurant and a true community institution. But he also funneled much of his energy into good works -- both here, where he hosted numerous charity events, and in Africa. Although Cunningham is gone, his restaurant -- a true community institution -- remains open.
