This week brought breakfast, sandwiches, Indian street food and a downtown hotel restaurant to the Denver scene. Corinne and 54Thirty, the restaurant and rooftop bar at the new Le Meridien Hotel downtown, which Laura Shunk wrote about earlier this summer, are now both open. And Stapleton a.m. sensation Four Friends Kitchen made it a duo with a second eatery on South University Boulevard. Over on Havana Street in Aurora, Chutney and another outpost of Dae Gee are now serving, too.

Tavernetta, from the Frasca Food & Wine team, was on our opening report just a week ago, but suffered a small kitchen fire on September 21, and will be out of commission until repairs can be made.
