So this past spring, the downtown Zaidy's took on a split personality. At breakfast and lunch, it was still a regular deli. But in the late afternoon, it turned into Zaidy's Fusion Grill, serving small plates and cocktails until the wee hours to woo the hipsters.
Now that split personality is coming back together in a single identity: the renamed Fusion Cantina, with new hours of 10 a.m. to 2 a.m. and a single menu that fuses some of Zaidy's old favorites with a small plates menu. And where does the Cantina influence come in? That's the source of some of our confusion. So is the fact that the Fusion Cantina is dark today, even though it's supposed to be open seven days a week, and a liquor license hearing slated for September 16 is no longer on the Denver Department of Excise and Licenses schedule.
